November 2025 – We extend our sincere appreciation to the dedicated members of our Lighting Advisory Council and all attendees who participated in our recent fall meeting. Their invaluable insights and collaborative spirit are instrumental in shaping the future of our division. The meeting provided a dynamic forum for strategic planning, allowing us to align on key priorities that will enhance the value we deliver to our representative and manufacturer members across the lighting industry.
The council engaged in robust discussions covering a wide range of strategic topics. Key areas of focus included strengthening our advocacy efforts to ensure that our members’ voices are heard on critical policy and regulatory issues. We also reviewed the progress of our marketing and communication initiatives, which are designed to increase visibility for our members and the association. These conversations have set a clear direction for our ongoing efforts to support the growth and success of every member.
Another central theme of the meeting was membership growth and engagement. The council explored new strategies to expand our community and deepen connections within our existing network. We also reaffirmed our commitment to providing premier educational opportunities and discussed plans for new programs and expanded curricula. These initiatives are designed to equip our members with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
Looking ahead, we are laser-focused on implementing these strategic initiatives to create tangible, meaningful value for our members. From expanding our digital resources and educational offerings to championing member interests at the highest levels, every action is guided by our commitment to your success. The insights gained from the council meeting are vital as we continue to build a stronger, more connected lighting community.
The energy and forward-thinking ideas from the meeting have created tremendous excitement for what lies ahead, especially for our upcoming inaugural 2026 Lighting Summit. This premier event will be a culmination of our collaborative efforts, offering unparalleled opportunities for networking, education, and strategic planning. We are more committed than ever to supporting our members’ growth and are eager to share more details about these exciting developments in the coming months.
