Board Members Strategic Planning Session
This January, the Board of Directors for ITIA is holding a strategic planning session to identify the key activities, services and projects that ITIA should focus on in the upcoming year. Member input is much appreciated and required.
Members of the ITIA were emailed a survey in December of 2010 and reminded in early January. The information collected is important to ensure we have the most effective meeting. We understand that some of the questions may be difficult to answer but appreciate your efforts to tell us your thoughts. The board will be reporting on the findings of this meeting at the AGM in February 2011.
ITIA Website Update
We are happy to announce that we have created a new online presence for the Interior Technology Industry Association. With the help of two new Kamloops companies, Design Off The Block and Next Step Media we feel we have created a compelling, and useful resource for our member companies and the general public.
Next Step Media (http://www.nextstepmedia.ca) was responsible for the design of our new website. The look and feel, navigation elements and styling were all designed to have a light feel and relay the importance of our message without being too technical in nature.
Design Off The Block (http://www.designofftheblock.com) was responsible for the implementation of the design. They took the new design and created a web standards compliant custom theme for WordPress.
We are exceptionally grateful to these companies for the efforts, and the ITIA memberships.
