FORT WAYNE, INDIANA 

Grand Wayne Convention Center — a premier Midwest meeting and convention facility located in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana — received two Awards of Excellence at the Indiana Society of Association Executives (ISAE) 13th Annual STAR Awards presented on December 11, 2014, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis, Indiana. ISAE recognized Grand Wayne Convention Center with the Individual Supplier of the Year award and the Supplier STAR Service award, two of ISAE’s top acknowledgements at the annual ceremony.

“This is a tremendous honor for us,” commented Marcy McKinley, director of sales and marketing for Grand Wayne Convention Center. “To be recognized as an award-winning facility with award-winning service is both rewarding and humbling. It’s a good feeling to be recognized for our staff’s efforts at every level.”

ISAE’s STAR Awards is the state’s only awards event celebrating the association industry and the individuals and organizations that make the industry a success in Indiana. In addition to recognizing the notable achievements of member associations and suppliers, the event serves as a charity benefit. Proceeds from the 2014 awards program benefitted Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana, a 100-plus years child advocacy program.
