ISES Award Recipients

The two most prestigious awards for the ISES Dallas Chapter were awarded at the 2009 ISES Awards Banquet.  These awards recognize two members who go above and beyond for the good of the ISES Dallas Chapter as well as the event industry as a whole. 

Spirit Award - Nominees have been members for two years or less and are selected because of their significant contributions to the ISES Dallas Chapter over the course of the past year. The award recognizes talent and commitment to our chapter.  The nominees were Vince Corona of Creative Cuisine, Courtney Jordan of Magic Moments Parties and Events and Nick Mallouff of Mallouff Photography.  

This year’s recipient is Vince Corona.  Vince has been an active member in ISES Dallas for the past two years.  He is active on the Education Committee.  This year alone he catered the January Bi-Monthly Educational Program at Marc Events and also was the co-chair for the largest Bi-Monthly Educational Program ISES Dallas puts on, the Special Event Industry Olympics, in May.  ISES Dallas would like to thank Vince for his hard work for the organization.  

The Pinnacle Award recognizes an individual based on his or her contributions to the Chapter and Special Events Industry in the past year. This award is what we all reach for in our industry; this is the highest honor our ISES Dallas Chapter can award to a member. Eligible nominees have been members of the Chapter for more than 2 years.  The nominees were Kristen Dickson of Kristen Dickson Weddings and Events, Debbie Meyers CSEP of Bravo! Entertainment, Leigh Stem CSEP of Ducky-Bob's Event Specialists, and Marla Watson-Werst CSEP of PeaPod Productions. 

This year’s recipient is Leigh Stem CSEP.  Leigh has been an active member of ISES for 6 years.  She has served multiple positions on the ISES Dallas Board,  including President 2007-2008 during which she set the course for allowing ISES Dallas to win the ISES Chapter of the Year.  This past year she worked with the Dallas Resource Center on the Toast of Life fundraiser.  Thank you Leigh for being an amazing leader for our chapter and role model for new and upcoming event professionals.
