The 2009 Branding Leadership Award goes to Renee Lyell of the Center for Training and Professional Development, the artists formerly known as T4B. Renee joined them just a couple of years ago, as they were changing their name...and we were implementing new graphic identity standards. As Renee oversaw the development of a new Web site, the creation of marketing plans and collateral for the organization plus its premiere event - the Biennial Conference for Women, as well as the rollout of the new name - she worked closely with Public Affairs to ensure that she was following the campus identity standards. She did that while protecting the Training Center's distinct personality and supporting a consistent visual identity. Renee exemplifies the quality and strength that are the Illinois brand, and we're delighted to name her this year's Branding Leader. Congratulations, Renee!
