ABC operates through a strong international network, with regional representations across the globe, including Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). From 2026 onwards, Marlies Whitehouse (Switzerland) will take up the role of Regional Vice-President EMEA, succeeding Ursula Lutzky (Austria). I would like to thank Ursula for her sustained commitment and leadership over the past years, and I warmly welcome Marlies in her new role.
My sincere appreciation also goes to the many members who actively shape this community through their work and engagement, including colleagues such as Gail Flanagan in Ireland.

| ABC Membership Benefits |
If you are involved in business communication anywhere in the world, consider what ABC could mean for you. ABC membership offers clear benefits: access to high-quality research and publications, an engaged international community, opportunities for collaboration and leadership, grants, awards, projects, and conferences that connect theory, pedagogy, and practice in meaningful ways.
I look forward to seeing ABC continue to grow as a vibrant space for exchange and collaboration across regions and disciplines.
