In addition, ABCOM strongly believes in recognizing the achievements and services from hard-working professionals within the industry. Each year, the organization awards one outstanding individual the Audrey Award, in honor of the late Audrey Bothamley, who was—and will always remain—a well-respected and beloved member of the community.
Finally, ABCOM fosters the education process of students entering the industry. Each year, the organization selects one to three BCIT students to receive bursaries, as it is these bright up-and-comers who will change, shape and dictate the future of media. |

Aimed at keeping the industry dynamic, collaborative and forward thinking, ABCOM believes in the importance of educating members on issues and advancements in broadcast, media and advertising though regular seminars.
Past speakers include Theresa Treutler (President and CEO of Television Bureau of Canada), Jim Macleod (President of BBM Canada), Tim Monaghan (VP and Media Director of Cossette Media) and Gary Belgrave (President of Radio Marketing Bureau).
ABCOM also believes in the value of networking and reconnecting with colleagues. Annual events, such as the Christmas Luncheon and Golf Tournament, provide the opportunity to build new (or strengthen longstanding) business and personal relationships.
