Chair’s Award

The Chair’s Award is conferred annually upon volunteer IABC members whose efforts, which include positively enhancing the organization’s reputation and image, have gone above and beyond that of what volunteers may usually undertake. Selected by the international executive board (IEB) Chair, any current IABC member active for the previous five years may be nominated for the award.

The Chair’s Award is presented annually at IABC’s World Conference. In June 2024, IABC Chair Maliha Aqeel, PMP, SCMP, MC named the IABC Organizational Design Task Force 2.0 as the recipient of the 2024 Chair’s Award.
