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
May is here and Spring is once again making the days longer and warmer. In April we watched another “Popcorn and a Movie,” the edition of our T.A.L.K. (Talk, Archive, Listen Keep) program. View Clip Dan Blitzer interviewed lighting luminaries – Francesca Bettridge, Howard Brandston, Don Gersztoff, Imero Fiorentino, Jules Fisher, Jim Kaloudis, Theo Kondos, Joanne Lindsley, Paul Marantz, David Mintz, Barbara Montgomery, and Lesley Wheel. Kudos to Co-Chairs Addison Kelly and Bill Maiman and the entire History Committee for their outstanding work and for producing a program that has value to everyone in the lighting industry. More >

The IESNYC Announces Dianna Osickey and Katrina Matejcik as the 2021 IESNYC Merit Scholarship Recipients
Now in this fifth year, the Scholarship is open to full-time, graduate degree candidates in architectural lighting who are enrolled in an accredited college or university located in New York State. The Scholarship was created to help alleviate the economic burden of receiving a graduate school education for deserving students. In addition to the monetary award, the Scholarship provides for membership and mentoring opportunities. Each student will receive an award of $25,000.
“The members of the jury agreed that this year’s two recipients were both standouts,” says Caleb McKenzie, Chair of the IESNYC Scholarship Committee, “and though they both come from different backgrounds and have different aspirations, the jury decided it was important to support both of them so they can further their continuing success in the lighting field.” More >
As a reminder, our portal is still open for companies to post jobs and for job seekers to post resumes. FREE OF CHARGE to all who participate. We hope this service is beneficial to everyone. Good luck in your search!
2021 Lumen Gala
