The mission of the Independent Communicators Alliance is to provide our members with networking, peer education and support opportunities, while also striving to enhance the work lives and elevate the image of independent communicators. ICA serves as a link between businesses, organizations and individuals with communication needs and our professional members by collectively and assertively promoting our members' services.

Kudos to Exhibit Resources and Kelly Welch

ICA's Venue Sponsor, Exhibit Resources, has been selected as one of the Top Businesses in the U.S. by DiversityBusiness.com. The awards are based on annual gross revenue and business profile. DiversityBusiness.com reviews more than 650,000 businesses in the U.S. The rankings are used by major corporations looking to increase spending with small and diversity-owned companies. Some of you may not know that Exhibit Resources is a woman-owned business with women in the roles of both CEO and CFO.

Those of you who attended our March meeting remember our speaker, Kelly Welch of Yes Career Services. Kelly recently earned her certification as a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) from the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches.  The certification recognizes Kelly as a career industry expert in developing strategic resumes and gives her the new title of CPRW Résumé Writer and Career Coach. Since Kelly's presentation to ICA, I've had occasion to meet Kelly for lunch to discuss business. She has excellent ideas about career development, whether you are employed, unemployed or independent.
