​The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) won three platinum and gold awards and one honorable mention for the Storm Reconstruction Toolkit, eiXtra e-newsletter, NEMA electroindustry magazine mobile app, and Electroindustry 2018 Media Kit, in the 2018 Hermes Creative Awards. 

A Hermes Platinum Award went to the NEMA Storm Reconstruction Toolkit, industry outreach and crisis communications plan offering practical resources for disaster recovery to electrical contractors and inspectors, business owners, utilities, and policymakers. The retooled Electroindustry 2018 Media Kit packages NEMA's new multimedia library and also received a platinum award.

NEMA won a Hermes Gold Award for eiXtra, its twice-monthly electronic newsletter and received an honorable mention for its new, electroindustry magazine mobile app.

"The entire NEMA staff works diligently to communicate with our industry stakeholders in new, creative ways, so we are honored to receive this recognition," says NEMA President and CEO Kevin J. Cosgriff. "Our staff's diverse backgrounds in engineering, economics, and advocacy bring fresh perspectives to our outreach initiatives, so we are proud to have our collective work recognized."
