the new site incorporates a bright and bold new look and a completely
revised layout and design to improve navigation and information access.
The orange and blue color scheme ties in with the
same new look for IAMU’s promotional materials and workshop brochures.
“IAMU’s site has always contained lots of information. But we felt it
was time to give the site a more modern look. We hope the new site makes
it easier for members to find the information they are looking for,”
said Tommi Makila, IAMU Program Manager.
One of the primary goals of the new design was to
better showcase the many services IAMU offers to its members. The
“Member Services” section includes information on all services provided
by the different IAMU departments: Electric, Gas, Water, Stormwater,
Telecommunications and Job Training & Safety.
A notable improvement on the site is the revised
events calendar. The calendar now allows visitors to view upcoming IAMU
events by utility type. In addition to retaining the online workshop
registration feature, other IAMU meetings — such as committee meetings
and board meetings — are now included on the calendar.
The new site design gives more prominent billing
to some of the popular and important sections of the site, such as
information on IAMU’s mutual aid program; and the section on municipal
utility careers and currently open positions with member utilities is
easier to find.
Some of the new sections of the site are still
under construction. The associate member directory will be designed to
be more interactive and user-friendly, and an IAMU classified ads
section will be added to the site.
Members are encouraged to visit and explore the
new site. Please send comments, suggestions and updates for the site to
