In an announcement made in their newsletter, Elliptipar/Tambient revealed that they have received WBE Certification from teh WBENC. Here is their announcement:
| WBE Certification
In an ongoing effort to bolster our credentials and stand out from the competition, our company has been certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the United States. |
 |
To become certified, the WBENC visited our headquarters to conduct a site inspection and in-depth review of the entire business. Upon careful review, the WBENC confirmed that we are at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by a woman and worthy of this esteemed certification.
Receiving this certification is critical for our business development efforts. More than 700 companies and government agencies in the United States look for the WBENC seal of approval before signing a contract with a new supplier due to the increased focus on supplier/vendor diversity programs. Diversity is very important to us and our customers, and in turn, we are glad to add this seal to our arsenal of credentials for companies and government agencies seeking a strategic lighting partner.
Be on the look-out for the WBENC seal on company materials moving forward.

Monica Santos of Antella Consulting Engineers, Inc. recently worked on some custom seating in the courtyard of the Rogers High School East Campus in Rogers, Arkansas. Antella was the lighting deisgner for the courtyard and other public spaces while the architect for the project was Hight Jackson Associates out of Rogers, Arkansas.
For the seating in the courtyard, Monica designed square concrete cubes with IO Lighting’s step light fixtures installed on the sides to provide a unique look and low-level lighting. Great creativity!

Thank you to everyone who has helped to make our monthly luncheon series at Brio a success! We’re taking a break during the month of August, but we’ll be back in September with what we think is an exciting new local manufacturer - Structura.
Their offices and manufacturing facilities are in Olathe, KS. Check their website for more information: www.structura.com.
We were having a bit of a blog problem last week, so we didn’t have a chance to post a pre-4th message. We hope that everyone had a fun and safe weekend.
Welcome to the 2nd half of the year!
Happy Birthday!
