Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) offer IABC/Atlanta members a chance to dig deep into specific subjects. At SIG meetings, attendees participate in a guided discussion and share best practices. IABC/Atlanta has three special interest groups.

Senior Communicators SIG
Coordinator: Ernie Martin [ e-mail ]
About this SIG:
Experienced communication professionals in the Senior Communicators SIG meet quarterly to network and discuss a specific communication or management topic that would primarily impact more senior-level professionals.
Who is a senior communicator? In general, a senior communicator is considered someone who has been in the communications/PR profession for 10 years or more and/or someone who is in mid-level management or above. In addition, a senior communicator might support and provide consultation to a senior level executive (director, vice president or above) in terms of managing the communications for that executive or that executive's department. Even if you don't consider yourself a senior-level communicator, you can still come to the SIG meetings whenever the topic sounds appealing to you.
