On behalf of IABC it is my great pleasure to offer congratulations to our 2020 Gold Quill Awards Excellence and Merit Winners!

For communication professionals, entering Gold Quill is a true rite of passage - and as the events of this year show more than ever, strong communication is vital to organizations and our broader society. This year's Gold Quill winners not only highlight best practices and innovative approaches, but also raise the bar for communication excellence. In doing so, they drive our profession and our world forward.

We look forward to celebrating with you in June at the (virtual) Excellence Gala - details to come!
