diverse financial exchange. Learn how the merger has
progressed since its completion and the role communications
has played – and will play – in the combination
of these two exchanges.
David Grossman,

of the chapter and benefits of membership. He will be
able to answer any questions you may have about the
IABC, the Chicago chapter and how your participation
in the organization can benefit your work. |
