The role of research in communication is the focus of a conversation between IABC President Julie Freeman, ABC, APR and 2008-09 Chair Barbara Gibson, ABC. Then, Neville Hobson discusses strategic communication planning with Lester Potter, ABC, author of the the recently-released third edition of IABC's all-time most popular manual, "The Communication Plan." This conversation between Julie Freeman and Barbara Gibson was recorded in November for a November-only episode of "Cafe2Go" that was to include an interview with Samuel Adenekan of Lagos, Nigeria, chairman of the 2009 EXCEL award committee.
