13 June 2008
Chicago, IL – June 13, 2008 – NogginLabs, Inc. won a Stevie Award for Public Information in The 2008 American Business Awards last night.
The awards were presented during ceremonies at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The ceremonies were hosted by Cheryl Casone of Fox Business Network and broadcast nationwide on radio by the Business TalkRadio Network.
In winning the Stevie, NogginLabs beat out other finalists including KV Pharmaceutical and Vérité, Inc. Stevie Awards were presented in over 40 categories including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, and Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program. More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration.
NogginLabs’ Stevie award was for the Peer Empowerment Education Referral Station (PEERS) website NogginLabs created with the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. PEERS is a public resource for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS to access quality information and to find reassurance during difficult times. This interactive resource comprises an interactive HIV/AIDS wellness guide and a directory of local resources. It is accessible from the AFC community website and includes engaging activities while providing detailed information for all audiences. NogginLabs fully developed the first of five modules, largely pro-bono, and provided the tools and support for AFC to complete the remaining portions themselves.
Members of the Awards’ Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs selected Stevie winners from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May.
“We are beyond excited to have won a Stevie for the PEERS website,” NogginLabs co-owner and CFO Traci Knudson said. “Not only does the award bring recognition to the great e-learning NogginLabs can produce, but it will hopefully also bring recognition to what PEERS can do for individuals newly diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. And that’s a real win-win for us and for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.”
