Kim Becker’s Summary

I’m an experienced writer with more than two decades of business management experience. I served as assistant editor for an international hospitality trade publication as well as a contributing editor to a few others.

I’m a past president of IABC’s Las Vegas chapter, and served on the organization’s board for about 11 years in various capacities, from treasurer to VP of communication.

I try to dedicate a significant amount of my time to the community and the communication profession. Recent have included: senior delegate on the IABC District Six board of directors for IABC/Las Vegas; member of IABC/Las Vegas’ Senior Communicator Council; executive committee member of the I Have a Dream Foundation, Inc. Las Vegas; and trustee for the Arts Council of Henderson. I’m also a past chair of the Southern Nevada Literacy Coalition.
