    • Communicator of the Year (nominated by IoIC members)
    • Diamond Award for Outstanding Achievement by an IoIC Member (decided by an IoIC panel)
    • Best IoIC accreditation programme student (nominated by the IoIC’s Professional Development committee).

    This definition reflects the need to include communication within membership organisations and similar groups, as well as employee communication. The important distinction is from any form of marketing or external communicatio
