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
In the new year, we are looking forward to taking all the success we garnered from last year and see where the winds of 2020 take us. If 2019 was any indication of what to expect in 2020, I cannot wait!
It was great to see so many of you at our holiday party at the Lutron Experience Center. The Membership Committee, under the leadership of Kacie Stigliano, planned a party that far exceeded our expectations. Everyone had a great time and we also raised money for Light Up The World Foundation. Congratulations to Kacie and her entire committee for making it all look so easy. Read More>
