its board of directors for 2003-2004. The organization links communicators in

communication.
In announcing that for the first time the chapter would have a Chief
Communications Officer, 2003-2004 IABC/Detroit President Cindy Orlandi, APR,

the new role of CCO and Brand Manager for IABC/Detroit."

international activities. "Lynn Baldwin of Towers Perrin in Southfield, who
