Summary

You may select the 8 a.m. or 4 p.m. session when you register. Your registration fee includes one telephone connection and one set of materials.

DESCRIPTION:
Many IABC accreditation candidates report that one of the biggest obstacles to becoming accredited is putting together their portfolio of two work samples. If you'd like to earn your ABC sometime in the next year, this teleseminar is a must.

A short overview of the steps involved in accreditation will be followed by an in-depth review of what makes a good portfolio, with a focus on writing a workplan that meets the portfolio-grading criteria. You'll learn from a presenter who has not only been there, but who regularly reviews and grades portfolios.

This teleseminar is designed for anyone who is an accreditation candidate and is still working on their portfolio, as well as for any IABC member considering accreditation - especially those who have won awards (Gold Quill winners only need to submit one portfolio piece). You'll come away with a blueprint for success, and hopefully with the inspiration you need to get your ABC in 2008/2009.

PRESENTER:

Nick Durutta, ABC, is internal publications manager for The Capital Group Companies. He oversees several regular publications as well as other general communications for the firm’s more than 9,000 associates worldwide.
