About AIP
AIP Mission
To support independent IABC/Toronto communicators through professional development, networking and marketing.
AIP Goals
- To provide a forum for entrepreneurial communicators to share common issues, concerns and ideas of interest.
- To position IABC independent practitioners as “top of mind” among IABC corporate members looking for communications help.
- To generate referrals among AIP members.
History
The Alliance of Independent Practitioners (AIP) was formed in September 1998. A few members met regularly to discuss specific topics, refine our mandate and develop productive ways to create a presence in IABC. Now the AIP has nearly 100 members, most of whom have been IABC members for many years and have actively volunteered in different IABC/Toronto portfolios and activities.
IABC/Toronto's VP, Membership represents AIP on IABC/Toronto’s board.
Who can participate in AIP activities?
Any IABC/Toronto member who is an independent practitioner or who has an interest in becoming an independent practitioner can join — free of charge. This is an added value for your IABC membership. Guests are welcome to attend.
