IABC NSW Board members are voluntary and there is no remuneration/salary paid. However, being a Board Director can be extremely rewarding. Board members have free attendance at all NSW Chapter events and other appropriate perks within the Chapter’s discretion and Board approval.
“It has been a rewarding experience being an IABC NSW Board member for the past three years. I have broadened my communications network and have felt that I’ve given back to the communications community”
