MAX AWARDS SELECT POLYVISION AS GRAND WINNER OF 2005 COMPETITION
PolyVision Corporation was named the Grand Winner of this year's 13th Annual MAX Award. PolyVision impressed this year's panel of judges with two innovative new products, a Walk-and-Talk Interactive Lectern and an Interactive Whiteboard. Both products help presenters to be more interactive with their audiences. The wireless lectern allows the presenter to be mobile throughout the room, while the whiteboard doubles as a giant television projection screen.
Additionally, the MAX Awards named two Winners: Georgia-Pacific for its Brawny Paper Towels and Miller Zell for The H&R Block Mobile Tax Office.
Winners were chosen from a group of finalists selected by
the Georgia State University Marketing RoundTable, which is comprised of senior marketing executives from many of Atlanta's top companies. The other finalists were AirTran Airways for its A+ Awards and The Home Depot for The Home Depot Manhattan, its Ryobi AIRgrip Laser Level and its Ryobi One+.
Recipients were presented MAX Awards at the annual awards breakfast held at the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead. This year's keynote speaker was Richard Lenny, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Hershey Foods (and Robinson alum). Also announced during the breakfast ceremony were this year's three recipients of the 2005 Marketing RoundTable Outstanding Minority Marketing Student Scholarship: Erica T. Gray of Atlanta, who's working toward her Master's in marketing; Carmen Santos of Woodstock, who will receive her MBA this summer; and Ashley Wilkinson of Marietta, who plans to receive her Bachelor's of Business Administration at the end of next year.
