June 25, 2021
The International Association of Business Communicators Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter (IABC NL) celebrated excellence in the field of communications this week with the announcement of the recipients of the 2021 Pinnacle Awards.
“There is a wealth of marketing and communications professionals here in Newfoundland and Labrador,” said Karyn Whelan, Vice President of IABC NL. “I thank everyone who submitted their work for consideration in this year’s Pinnacle Awards and congratulate all the winners who are shining examples of excellence in their field.”
The Pinnacle Award of Excellence for Organizational Leader was presented to Assistant Commissioner Ches Parsons, Commanding Officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Newfoundland and Labrador (RCMP NL). This prestigious award recognizes an individual who is not an IABC member nor a communications professional, but has demonstrated leadership, vision and commitment to communications excellence.
Thirteen Pinnacle awards were presented in a variety of categories to professionals in both public and private sector organizations in the province, including the Pinnacle Award for Volunteer of the Year. This year’s recipient is Jessica Fisher, Communications Advisor with Fortis Inc., who was recognized for her contributions to IABC NL professional development offerings and her support for the chapter and membership. There were also nine student awards presented to those in enrolled in post-secondary marketing and communications programs. A full list of award recipients is included in the attached Backgrounder.
IABC NL thanks its Pinnacle Awards sponsors, College of the North Atlantic and Fortis Inc., for their ongoing support.
The International Association of Business Communicators is an international network of communications professionals with the goal to promote excellence in communications by offering opportunities for networking, expanding knowledge, and ensuring quality through ethical practices and certification.
