The Cleveland Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (CEJATC) unveiled its $1.2 million renovation and addition with a gala press conference and rededication event, which featured International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers President Edwin D. Hill.  With assistance from BMA Media Group with the planning and coordination, the event included four speakers, including President Hill; a formal ribbon cutting; tours of the 8,500-square-foot renovation and addition, including the four new classrooms and new state-of-the-art hands-on BICSI-certified telecommunications lab; and press coverage.

To make the event a success, CEJATC used BMA Media Group to plan the catered reception and send out invitations for guests, which numbered about 200. To make the event even more special, it included a stage with plasma screens and full audio, video and lighting – none of which CEJATC had to worry about with BMA behind the scenes.

IBEW international President Edwin Hill officially opens the new telecommunications wing of the Cleveland Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Center.

Turning 100 years old is no small thing, so when Ironworkers Local 55 hit the milestone, it wanted a celebration marking the anniversary to be done right – just right. Nothing short of a gala sit-down dinner at the Seagate Convention Center in Toledo for about 1,000 guests, including the mayor of Toledo and local congressmen and women, would do. Well, that and a replica of the Maumee River Crossing Bridge on which guests would cross into the banquet room.

To span the monumental logistics of throwing such an epic event, Local 55 used BMA Media Group to help with everything from conception to cleanup – and a 100th anniversary video documentary guests could enjoy through the evening. Invitations, staging and catering were all the concern of BMA, so Local 55 could just sit back and enjoy.

And BMA Media Group even created and produced a 100th anniversary commemorative program, complete with advertising it sold.
