The New York Society of Association Executives (NYSAE), a
leading professional organization for non-profit executives, has
given its Cyber Space Award for excellence in Web site design to
the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). The Cyber Space Award
recognizes members’ associations for their outstanding Web sites.
The criteria for this award include the following Web site
attributes: immediacy of overview, ease of navigation, aesthetics,
consistency, timeliness of content, internal search capabilities,
usefulness, interact-ability, originality and Internet
vision.
Mr. Kevin Flynn, who is the chairman of IES and a principal with
the architectural firm Kiku Obata, commented, "We are pleased to
learn that ies.org was one of only three not-for-profits to win the
Cyber Space Award. We were happy to work with BrandLogic, who was
responsible for creating this site along with a complete refresh of
the IES brand."
"We are happy to see that our client IES was recognized by its
peers in the non-profit world," said Hampton Bridwell, President of
BrandLogic. "Working together with IES, we were able to create a
compelling, easy-to-use Web experience, along with a powerful,
recognizable brand that is helping IES drive its overall
performance."
NYSAE includes in its membership professionals from organizations
such as The Girl Scouts, The American Institute of CPAs, The
American Heart Association and many other prestigious non-profits.
The NYSAE Awards Program provides an opportunity for members to
nominate members who've made significant contributions to the
profession or NYSAE. The program was created to honor those
individuals who have demonstrated leadership, service and special
achievements that benefit the Association Management profession and
its related fields. These awards are the highest recognition that
NYSAE can give its active members.
