Summer 2014 Newsletter of the FCIAAO
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
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
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

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.
