NEW LOGO AND WEBSITE INTRODUCED

In case you missed it at the FCIAAO annual conference in Fort Lauderdale held April 30 – May 2, the FCIAAO recently launched a rebranding effort by redesigning both our logo and website. The logo was displayed on all collateral conference materials. The logo will now be used on all future chapter materials. We felt our website www.fciaao.org needed to be redesigned to freshen up the look and to make it easier for the membership and board to navigate and use the site. The redesign adds additional functionality on the backend of the site so that the executive board

John Watterson, GISP, CFE

can easily update and change the site as needed to keep providing fresh relevant information to the membership. FCIAAO President Alice Weinberg says, ―The goal of the FCIAAO is to launch a site that reflects the latest tools, informative data, educational resources, and networking opportunities that FCIAAO members expect. As with all websites, the FCIAAO site is a work in progress and the chapter encourages member input to improve it and enhance this resource!‖ One change you may notice with the site is a Members section where you can find a Directory of FCIAAO Members, Presenter Materials, Newsletters, Downloads and Board Minutes. The members section is secured by your FCIAAO login, if you have any issues with your login please contact Katie Casey at Katie@scpafl.org . We updated our logo to identify more closely with the newly redesigned IAAO logo. During the process of development a series of prototypes were developed for review by chapter leaders. Initial designs used graphic elements from the new IAAO logo. Once a slate of drafts were created and agreed upon by the chapter, the board then submitted the drafts to the IAAO Communications Committee for review and feedback. We wanted to make sure we didn’t

conflict with IAAO Procedural Rules. What we found was that the IAAO Procedural Rules had never addressed IAAO logo use by chapters. Based upon our development process a revision to the Procedural Rules were drafted and approved. Once we had approval and recommendations from IAAO, the Executive board made the final decision and the new FCIAAO logo was born.
