We are sad to share the passing of Dr. R. Wayne Pace on August 15th, 2026. Dr. Pace dedicated his adult life to being a champion of effective organizational communication, and in his words – "Making Knowledge Useful". His son Greg shared the news with us noting that only weeks ago he commented how proud he was of the work being done by the organization he founded and was pleased with its world-wide reach and influence in the field he loved and dedicated his professional life to.
