President’s Greeting
John C. Johnson
C. Johnson Sign Company
2020 ISA President
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am excited to
present our 2020 Membership Directory of the Illinois
Sign Association.
Listed are the member sign companies and related
allied trades who have banded together as members to
gain the benefits of connecting, sharing knowledge,
knowing that we are better as a group than as isolated
silos. Yes, we compete, but we also collaborate!
Exciting programs of the association are listed in the following pages which includes:
• The Illinois Sign Expo
• The Fall Education Conference
• Sign Design Awards Program
• Scholarship Program
• Maury Ely Awards
We hope that you’ll take time to utilize our directory and the digital version on our website www.isasign.com
and our Facebook page Illinois Sign Association Facebook page
If you’re not a member, here's your invitation in hopes that this will be inspiration for you to engage as a
member of our organization. And to our members, thank you! We appreciate your engagement. If you’re
not yet involved in the committee or one of our project teams we hope that you’ll step up and join in.
As of this writing, we are facing a crazy time in the world. We know that working together is better than
standing alone. Thanks very much!

LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS
And please join in on the Member get a Member Campaign and invite a friend or colleague from the sign industry
to become part of our group. As Brian Newton of Parvin Clauss stated “while it may seem natural to protect
yourself from competition, in reality a business gains by affiliating with like-minded businesses.”
Working together on industry issues and sharing knowledge has many benefits. Help us identify other sign
companies to become members. Reach out to them or forward the contact to the office and we'll reach out.
VOLUNTEER TO JOIN A COMMITTEE in 2020!
Committees of the ISA have the responsibility to execute actions, tactics, and strategies in support of the
organization’s values, vision and mission. Committee goals and appointments are assigned at the beginning of
each year. Committee chairs will make periodic updates to the president officers and board.
AUCTION COMMITTEE…The auction committee is responsible for fundraising primarily focused on our scholarship
activities and association operations during the fall conference.
MAURY ELY COMMITTEE…The Maury Ely committee is responsible for the promotion and review of nominations
for the award and the ultimate selection of the award honoree.
MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE…The membership development committee’s role is to identify
programs, activities, and services that will enhance membership for sign companies and the allied trade members
and to coordinate the Regional Meet and Greet Events. The committee will develop a list of key challenges and
needs in the industry providing guidance for educational sessions, regional events and media content. In addition,
this committee has the responsibility to foster an environment with tactics for membership recruitment and
growth.
CONFERENCE PROGRAM COMMITTEE…The conference program committee is responsible for the overall vision
and staging of conferences and expositions. Duties include the identification and selection of speakers, sessions,
panels and other activities which may include a trade expo, Designer’s Symposium, golf outing, awards banquet,
and other social and networking experiences.
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE…The scholarship committee is responsible for the standards, promotion,
management, and selection of candidates. The preliminary budget is $3000 of scholarships to be awarded.
SIGN DESIGN COMMITTEE…The sign design committee is responsible for the annual design contest which includes
the promotion and evaluation of award winners in categories for recognizing excellence in the sign industry. The
committee meets once in person 4-6 weeks prior to the fall conference to review all the submittals and
determines the category 1st and 2nd place winners. “The Best of the Best” award will be chosen from the winners
by ballot of conference participants during the fall meeting.
CHICAGO SIGN CODE TASK FORCE…The goal of this initiative is to bring improvements and accelerated permit
approval times in the City of Chicago. Working with city officials, the Small Business Advisory Council and the
International Sign Association, ISA representatives will be responsible for promoting, surveying, and representing
the Illinois sign industry.
WEBSITE / SOCIAL MEDIA WORK GROUP…This assignment is responsible for the monitoring and upgrading of our
website and Facebook page as well as other social media applications and overall digital efficiencies for the
organization.
DROP a line to ISA HQ and we’ll connect you to your Committee Chair!

The Maury Ely Award
Few awards in the sign industry are held in higher esteem than the Maury Ely
Award presented annually by the Illinois Sign Association to that individual who
has distinguished him or herself for meaningful and meritorious contributions to
both the association and the industry.
The stature of this award has a special eminence because it honors the memory of a man who literally devoted
his life to the advancement of a professionalism that is today synonymous with our burgeoning industry.
Maury Ely is almost singularly credited for developing various programs which propelled the National Electric
Sign Association (NESA) to the federal legislative area, promoted a new and broader membership base and made
NESA responsive to numerous member demands for greater
education and information.
Upon his retirement for NESA, Maury accepted the less demanding but equally important role of furthering the
development of the state sign association of Illinois, serving as its first professional Executive Director. His
success is evidenced today by the continuing growth and activism of ISA.
It is only fitting that Maury Ely’s legacy to the sign industry is one that encourages and then rewards
foresightedness, determination and achievement.
As those who knew and worked with Maury are proud of that special acquaintanceship, so he would have been
proud to know what his labors have wrought and how his exemplary life of leadership has inspired others that
followed.
The Maury Ely Award is perhaps cherished by its select recipients more than any award they have earned. It is a
reminder of Maury’s memory and the tradition of excellence that they themselves have achieved.

EDUCATION CONFERNCE
Business Alignment with Flexible Software led
by David Fitzgerald, South Water Signs
presented an informative session on business
alignment using the Smart Sheet software for
project management. David shared the notion of
big picture project planning and related action
plans for intra-company shared knowledge and
information. He asserted that Vision, Mission and
strategy should be known throughout the
organization. From those aspirations, goals,
quality, and forecasting operations begin. He noted a theme of continuous improvement seeking the best
path. Change is never-ending, avoid reinventing the wheel and the Smart Sheet program serves best to
replace tasks rather than to add tasks.
Final afternoon learning labs featured key elements to a
successful lighting upgrade or retrofit program presented by
Warren Turner of Sloan LED who noted that there are
opportunities everywhere from retail to warehousing to industrial
sites. The focus of any LED retrofit is on energy safety
performance corporate Branding and sales and maintenance
costs.
Wayne Kalhan, Linmore LED (Pictured on left) discussed the
variety of wireless lighting control systems including standalone
devices, room based controlled systems that can be wired or
wireless, centralized building controls and complete energy
management systems.
Sign Expo with table tops Trade vendor sponsors exhibited throughout the conference providing
information on their products and services. A great way to see what’s new and available in the industry.

TOP 10 ERRORS IN CHICAGO SIGN PERMIT APPLICATIONS
All sign companies know that the process of obtaining a sign permit can take months. The many steps involved are
complicated so when applications are submitted with errors it adds even more delays. Deputy Beaudet shared the
top errors identified by city administrators. The ISA has been instrumental in working with Mayor Lightfoot and her
teams to seek ways to expedite the turnaround time in sign permitting. We are hopeful that your business and
teams will learn ways to better complete the applications and avoid mistakes when submitting you permit
applications. For a copy of the presentation contact office@isa-sign.com
