President's Corner:

Dawn AbbottHello ISES Members,
 
I hope you had a fantastic time at IRON ISES - what a fun event!  We are nearing the end of the ISES year and oh my goodness it feels like when school gets out for summer.  We are all super busy; a lot of hustling is going on to get it all done.  You all should be very aware of some major goings on:

1. Scholarship applications went out for EventWorld in Baltimore.  It is an amazing event full of great education.  The best thing about this conference is that it is smaller than most so you get to be up close and personal to network with big dogs in the industry from around the world.  Check it out on the
www.ises.com  website and complete your application to have ISES Denver chapter pay for the trip for you (as long as you are a member)!!

2. The call for awards submission has been made.  You will not win an award unless you submit!!  Last year was the first year for the IDEAs (Ises Denver Event Awards) and we didn't get the number of submission we would have liked to get.  We are sending the award submissions to another U.S. chapter for judging very soon.  So get your submissions in ASAP.  That award would look great on your desk and in your marketing materials.


3. The Slate for the nomination of the new board is due to headquarters this Friday 4/23.   Our slate is just about complete - however if you or someone you know wants to take the next step in their membership, please let me know.  We still are in need of a couple of committed individuals who want to make our chapter all it can be.


4. We are looking for donations to create packages for the LIVE Experience auction.  If you have the ability to donate or request donations from your company, partners, vendors, customers, etc. please do so.
 


5. Lastly, don't forget the next two BIG ISES events; The Masquerade Ball in May (Have you gotten a costume yet?) and the Annual Dinner and Awards Gala in June.  They both are going to be fantastic and I hope to see you all there.
 
Best,

Dawn

The 2010 ISES ESPRIT AWARDS

 

What are the ISES Esprit Awards?

The ISES Esprit Awards program is designed to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts, performance, and outstanding contributions of ISES members in the special events planning.

ARE YOU A WINNER?

Why only be recognized by your local Chapter when you could be recognized an entire International Association?


The May 3, 2010 Deadline is Fast APPROACHING!

 

The 2010 ISES Esprit Awards competition will be conducted in a completely electronic format.  No more binders, printing, cutting, and gluing photos; this new online process is streamlined to recognize outstanding achievement and vision in the special events industry, to help develop global visibility and recognition and acknowledge commitment to the profession. 

 

This year's competition is open to events that took place between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Events that were conducted after December 31, 2009 may be entered in next year's competition.

 

The 2010 award ceremony is closer then you think, so whether you set the stage, present the food, design the invitation or create an experience...you have the ability to enter your best work into the ISES Esprit Awards. And it's never been easier with the new on-line submission process.  The prestige of the Esprit awards program relies solely on the high-caliber events and the dedicated and talented ISES event professionals that submit events for consideration. Being an ISES Esprit Award nominee or recipient will provide the distinct competitive advantage to sing your praises to customers, potential clients, vendors and colleagues, reminding them of your accomplishments and industry expertise!

 

We invite you to enter one or more of your events in the 2010 Esprit Awards. The ISES Esprit recipients will be awarded at ISES Eventworld®-An Institute for Professional Development on August 7, 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland USA. For further 2010 ISES Esprit Information, click here.
