IABC Ottawa is championed by the support of its volunteers. Each month, we recognize a volunteer for their hard work and commitment — and for the (past) month of January, we'd like to recognize Horacio Pineda 🎉Many of the amazing visual assets that you see are thanks to Horacio, our talented graphic designer.

Horacio shared this about his volunteer experience with IABC Ottawa: "I'm very excited to see that the work we do has a significant impact on our members. I'm surrounded by a great team of professionals who motivate me to do exceptional work."
