Designation “represents the most exclusive list of North American exhibit providers in the industry and serves as the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval” for high-performing top exhibit producers.
INDIANAPOLIS – Hamilton, a national full-service event marketing agency, scored preferred industry designation as a “Find It – Top 40” exhibit professional by EXHIBITOR magazine in April. Following its prior 2021 success in being named in the same exclusive category, Hamilton strategically repeated its national selection in 2022 by excelling in “an exhaustive evaluation process” of nearly 500 applications from exhibit houses, according to the publication’s editor, Travis Stanton.
The “Find It – Top 40” designation serves two purposes: “to spotlight the best exhibit producers in the industry, while also providing a valuable resource for exhibit managers searching for new potential partners,” said Stanton.
Now in its fifth year, the program “represents the most exclusive list of North American exhibit providers in the industry,” added Stanton. Companies like Hamilton who were chosen, receive the immediate benefit of the industry’s “Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval when it comes to the companies behind many of the most successful trade show stands in the world,” the editor continued.
The designation puts Hamilton on a rarified level of high-performing companies. “Being chosen for this national recognition is both immensely gratifying and humbling at the same time,” said Jason Weddle, Hamilton’s Chief Executive Officer. “The designation reflects the superb capacity of our outstanding team of designers and builders, and it also shows the depth of what a company can achieve who relentlessly commits to doing whatever it takes to elevate customer service and performance.”
Paoli Community School Corporation will be the first to receive services through the new initiative.
PAOLI, Indiana – Health care access at Orange County schools will reach a new dimension through a new partnership between Southern Indiana Community Health Care (SICHC) with area elementary, middle and high schools to establish in-school telehealth clinics. The new telehealth clinics, beginning with Throop Elementary School, will allow students to be seen by medical professionals through a secure link using digital diagnostic instruments.
“This is a great advancement for our schools, as our students in need of health services can now been seen privately by medical professionals in the school nurse office instead of having to be transported to a doctor’s office or have their parents pick them up during school hours,” said Greg Walker, Superintendent of the Paoli Community School Corporation. “This helps both keep students learning in classrooms and doesn’t result in unnecessary disruption that affects families.”

ELLETTSVILLE (Indiana) — Today a nationally recognized Top 100 Broadband Company, Smithville is celebrating its 100th year in business in 2022. “We have come a long way from the days when Indiana quarries who were cutting limestone for the Empire State Building and Washington, D.C. federal offices required then-state-of-the art telephone connectivity,” said Darby A.

WASHINGTON – A two-phase $14.5 million housing project entered into the final stages of planning Feb. 7 and is now expected to bring 144 new market rate apartment units to the east side of the city Washington, according to Bryant Niehoff, executive director of the Daviess County Economic Development Corporation. Details of the project, which has been a year in planning, were recommended by the Washington Redevelopment Commission and will now go to the City Council for final consideration of key elements.
“This is a very positive development for Daviess County, as it will create capacity for our local workforce to grow and step into jobs that are both available and being created in the community,” said Niehoff. “The ROI Indiana Uplands housing study conducted two years ago noted that more market rate housing was needed to promote economic growth and job creation here, so this represents an important step forward.”
The $14.5 million project will build six apartment buildings offering 1,000-1,200 sq. ft. apartments in 1-3 bedroom configurations. “These will be excellent residences for professionals, young families, and individuals of all ages looking for a place to grow,” said Niehoff.
