About this episode
The episode introduces IABC's newest Fellows for 2026 and features discussions with various communicators.
Circle of Fellows will depart from the discussion of communication issues, as we do once each year, to introduce IABC's newest Fellows. Five new communicators join the Fellows community in 2026, spanning the globe from Canada (from which three of our Fellows hail) to South Africa and Australia. To accommodate time zones, two Circle of Fellows episodes will air on June 25. Part 1, at noon EDT, will feature Brad Whitworth moderating a discussion with André Oberholzer, SCMP, FCSCE, Cyrus Mavalwala, IABC Fellow, ABC, MC, and Diana Degan, IABC Fellow, ABC, CAAP, BAAJ. Then, at 6 p.m. EDT, Shel Holtz will host a conversation with Catherine Ducharme, IABC Fellow, PCC, CLC, and Sia Papageorgiou, IABC Fellow, FRSA, FCSCE, SCMP. Join the discussion by watching the live streams on YouTube, where you can share observations and ask questions. If you are unable to join us live, you'll have access to a video replay on YouTube, or the audio podcasts here on the FIR Podcast Network.
