(International) – On 2 July, 2024, the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) launched its newly refreshed website. A significant milestone for the organisation, the launch went live marking its commitment to developing initiatives that enhance member experience and support personal development.

Megan Henshaw, Marketing Manager at the LIA, explained: “A fresh-faced website was imperative to our goals for 2024 as it became clear we needed a platform to better reflect The LIA as we are today and create a site that is easier to navigate for members and the industry.”

The website takes on a modern look while introducing two new features: an Online Learning Portal and a Member Engagement Platform. The former offers courses tailored from introductory to advanced technical skills, to behavioural and leadership development.

The Member Engagement Platform is a space for members to connect, share insights, and access exclusive content. This platform contains resources such as industry articles and webinars, while having the opportunity to interact with peers, gain knowledge, and find the latest trends within the sector.

Teresa Beazley, Commercial & Training Manager, commented: “It’s important to recognise the needs of people within the industry have changed, and offering learning opportunities that fit around busy work and life commitments is essential to bridging the emerging skills gap, while engaging and retaining talent. Our new online training portal brings a range of new content to life, while making it as accessible as possible.”

Ayça Donaghy, CEO of The LIA, added: “The launch of our new website, online learning platform, and member engagement platform represents a significant step forwards for The LIA. We are committed to providing our members with the best possible resources and a platform that supports their professional development and engagement within the industry. This new site is a testament to our dedication to continuous improvement and innovation.”
