MUMBAI: IAA‘s India Chapter has been honoured with the 2010 IAA Chapter Excellence Award.

The award was given away at the 42nd IAA World Congress, Moscow, amidst 1200 delegates from 45 countries. 
 
IAA executive director Michael Lee praised the work that the India Chapter had done in the past two years and said he was pleased with the Chapter for making an outstanding contribution to the core values and mission of IAA - "in particular, the providing of a forum for international industry debate, advocacy and professional development opportunities and an exceptionally healthy growth in memberships."

While presenting the award to IAA India Chapter VP Kaushik Roy, IAA chairman and world president Alan Rutherford said, "The inventiveness shown by the India Chapter is commendable and will, I am sure, resonate to all other chapters so that we can hear about similar initiatives by IAA chapters in other countries."
 
Roy said that the award was the cumulative result of the strong business strategies put in place in the last few years, and their meticulous implementation under the leadership of the Chapter president Raj Nayak, which were beginning to bear fruits now.

The India Chapter of IAA was instituted in 1991, with a view to foster a healthy environment for the growth of globalisation in the communication industry.
