PULSE Ignite Award and BMA Lantern Award

 

Ignite Award

Each year, PULSE recognizes one employee with the Ignite Award, an honor created to celebrate the life of Sue Carpenter and the extraordinary values she demonstrated every day. Individuals who exemplify Carpenter’s dedication to PULSE by making a significant and admirable contribution to our team are considered.

 

In October of 2010, Anne Rhodes was honored with the second annual Ignite Award. In her role as Public Relations Manager, Rhodes displays consistently high standards and promotes collaborative efforts that foster growth in others. She demonstrates a sincere interest in her colleagues’ success and the success of PULSE.

 

PULSE would like to congratulate all of this year’s nominees – Dilshad Haji, Rick Massey, Gina Smith, Jay Stallings and Denise Stigge. Each of these individuals made valuable contributions to our organization.

BMA Lantern Award

At its annual gala in November 2010, the Business Marketing Association (BMA) of Houston awarded PULSE a BMA Lantern Award for online communications, recognizing the premiere webcast of the PULSE Insights & Solutions eForum. PULSE debuted this new format for professional development live on the Internet in April 2010.

 

The eForum was comprised of a panel discussion and case studies from PULSE financial institution participants. The panel of experts, moderated by PULSE Senior Vice President Steve Sievert, candidly addressed such industry topics as reward programs, social media and debit performance management. The case studies featured two of our financial institution participants, who shared their debit programs’ unique experiences and successes. Throughout the event, the panel took questions from webcast participants across the country.

 

BMA Houston created the Lantern Awards of Texas more than two decades ago to highlight top-quality creative and strategic business-to-business communications.
