Excel Awards
| 25 October 2010
IABC Africa is pleased to announce that Judge Mervyn King is the 2010 recipient of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Africa Excellence in Communication Leadership (EXCEL) Award - one of the highest honours that IABC Africa can bestow. This award is given to a senior figure who has proven his or her ability to lead through effective communication.
Judge King has been recognised for the role he has played in promoting communication and stakeholder relations through their inclusion in King Report III. It now places the role of communication squarely at board level, highlighting the importance of communication activities within and across an organisation. As a consequence of Section 8 of King Report III, business communicators are now required to report on stakeholder relations at a higher level, in line with business objectives.
