SBAM Wins Leadership, Website Awards

The Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) was recognized with two significant awards at the Michigan Society of Association Executives (MSAE) 9th Annual Diamond Awards Banquet, held on Sept. 22, 2010, at The Townsend Hotel in Birmingham. Nearly 200 members and guests attended the event, designed to recognize excellence and innovation in associations.

The Chairman’s Gavel Award is MSAE’s way to honor the individuals who have done the most to advance the goals and aspirations of the organization’s strategic initiatives over the past year.

SBAM also won a First Place Diamond Award for its website (www.sbam.org) redesign, which increased membership and improved member engagement.
