Welcome to the New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society
We are a volunteer professional membership organization comprised of individuals who share a mutual appreciation for and fascination with all things lighting. We are dedicated to promoting both the art and science of illumination to our members, to other professional organizations, to the industry, and to the public through inspiring events, informative programs, educational series, and great networking opportunities.
President's Message
December Is Here!
The end of the year is a great time to reflect on the success we have had in 2019 and to look forward to the great promise of 2020 and beyond. Our section has so much to be thankful for and so much of that is you! I could never list all the people and companies that helped to make 2019 a wonderful year for our Section. We are very fortunate to count them as members and friends.
Many of you have signed up for our holiday gathering. It will be great to see everyone!
Our Sponsorship Campaign is underway and looks to be a successful endeavor of so much hard work and dedication.
2020 is looking great, stay tuned for more powerful programs and great networking opportunities.
On behalf of myself, the IESNYC board of managers and our hard working committee members, Have a Wonderful Holiday Season!

Join us in the IESNYC 2020 Perspective Sponsorship Campaign
The Section has a large and growing membership and a small army of dedicated managers and committee members who volunteer their time to help us fulfill our mission. However, it would be impossible for us to continue our important work without the support of our sponsors. If you’ve been a loyal sponsor over the years, we thank you. If you are a new sponsor, we welcome you to join us so we can continue our work. Learn More >
