Sheila Stack Named Finalist for
Two National Event Industry Awards

(Denver, Colorado)—Sheila Stack, President of Impact Productions, Inc., was named a finalist in the Creative Director and Event Producer categories for the prestigious Event Solutions Spotlight Awards. The awards recognize the top leaders and companies of the event industry.

Finalists are selected from a pool of nominees based upon the completion of an extensive entry packet designed to showcase the scope of work of the entrant. “We had an overwhelming number of qualified nominees and the selection committee faced a true challenge narrowing down the finalists to just a few," says John Baragona, publisher of Event Solutions magazine. Stack’s creativity, budget management, use of customized entertainment, design innovation, and overall quality garnered her this honor.

Since 1997 Impact Productions has partnered with national clients across industry sectors on the design, development and fulfillment of an expansive array of event marketing programs. While the types of events Impact produces run the gamut from sales conferences and user groups, to product launches and trade show programs, to award galas and customer appreciation events, each is firmly grounded by a sound business orientation and strong strategic thinking. According to Stack, “We understand that meetings, if treated properly, become a powerful tool to communicate business messaging and build the corporate brand. At Impact, we create experiences that generate heart share and mind share, build enthusiasm and loyalty, and inspire audiences to action. We call it ‘live branding’."

Whatever a company's objective, from unifying employees to lighting a fire under the sales staff, to cultivating customers, Impact Productions delivers memorable – and meaningful – presentations. Stack works with non-profits as well, providing key messaging and imaging to each audience base.

Winners for the 2005 Event Solutions Spotlight Awards are chosen by their peers, utilizing an online voting system at http://www.event-solutions.com/cgi-bin/spotlight2005.cgi. Voting is currently underway and continues through July 15. Final selections will be announced in Atlanta, Georgia on August 25 at an elegant black-tie evening event.
