Why participate? What’s in it for YOU and YOUR
MEMBERS?
Why participate?“We live in a fast-paced world that demands an increasingly global perspective for professional communicators. Through this partnership with Alltech, the IFAJ can provide young journalists with that perspective by networking with other colleagues at our annual congresses.”
– IFAJ President Mike Wilson, USA
Why particpate?“I’ve had the chance to meet and build relationships with fellow journalists from around the globe, which is both as much a valuable career asset as it is just plain fun staying in touch with new friends in the lull between congresses!
– Lilian Schaer, Canada, 2010 IFAJ-Alltech Young Leader Award Winner
