Fellowship
Our community of more than 80 Fellows are integral to the work we do at the IoIC, sharing their knowledge and skills to advance the practice of internal communication.
They do this by, among other things, helping the Institute develop best practice guidance, providing input into the creation of standards and supporting other members as mentors.
With the support of our Fellows, we’re able to promote internal communication of the highest standards, drive professionalism and raise awareness of this valuable community to the wider world.
IoIC Fellows are able to demonstrate that they have made outstanding contributions to the internal communication profession and the Institute.
“It’s a public, highly respected quality mark,” says IoIC president Suzanne Peck. “As an Institute, we value the diversity that professionals with differing backgrounds and expertise bring to the sector and we want to continue to recognise their contribution.”
