R.E.I.A. Award

At the 2017 MidYear Leadership Conference we previewed the evolution of the Awards of Excellence to Recognizing Excellence in Innovation Award. The Innovation Awards recognize those organizations and people who bring new ideas to life. Whether that idea is big or small, these ideas change the way we experience the REIA world.

We want to applaud those among you who are brave enough to step up, to try something new, to innovate.  We want to take this opportunity to encourage more innovation, more creation of ideas that help us stand out.

The Award is shaped as a triangle/pyramid, or as we see it, the symbol for Delta, in chemistry the change agent. We see the winners of this award as the change agents for the advancement of the industry.
