Two weeks ago, I pledged to offer IABC Scandinavia 12 suggestions for building membership. After a first suggestion (Start a blog, which drew attaboys from IABC members and was panned by IABC European leadership) I missed last week, between deadlines…
IABC Scandinavia
“Booo”… I can hear to the rafters already, as you all say “too easy…” But hear me out a minute. Most blogs are personal. Most blogs deliver the highly opinionated view of one person. In fact, blog “purists” would prefer…
Recently I poked fun at the idea of an IABC Scandinavia chapter. It was just a poke: While I still think it a poor idea, it’s a done deal, and the only thing is to try to make it work….
