IACPR Responds To New York With Job Bank

IACPR (International Association of Corporate and Professional Recruitment) and Telusys have teamed together to launch the "WTC Job Bank" in response to the World Trade Center tragedy earlier this month. This free service will benefit both businesses and individuals who may have been adversely affected by the WTC bombing. Employees who may have lost their jobs may post their resumes, and employers who want to help may post job openings.

AAP Launches SmartSite

The American Academy of Periodontology has signed an agreement to provide the SmartSite program to its 7,400 members.

At no cost to AAP, its members, including periodontists, general dentists, family, and friends in the U.S. and internationally, can now affordably create professional web sites for their practices and businesses in just minutes.

Here’s how SmartSite works:

  • Members choose from three packages: basic, intermediate, and custom.
  • Members register online and select a template, including overall design, color scheme, and font.
  • Content may be entered into the template forms, and the user is guided every step of the way. No HTML is required!

The program will also generate revenue for AAP. Every time a member signs up to create a web site, Telusys will pay AAP an affinity royalty. Telusys also provides 100% of the support to AAP’s members, so no additional overhead is needed.

AAP decided to seek out this type of program after receiving a number of requests from its membership. The AAP management reviewed other solutions for providing web sites to its members, but found that SmartSite had the advantages they were seeking.

Please take time to visit the SmartSite demo on our Web site: http://smartsite.telusys.net. For more information on how SmartSite can help your organization, contact Cherre Neitzka at 630-833-5300 x103 or via email at cln@telusys.net.

Get To Know Us: Steve Vasilakis

Real Name: Steve Vasilakis
AKA: (Vasilaki)

Guru of: Interactive media design

Favorite brew: Jack Daniels

Hobbies: Tai Chi, playing the guitar, pencil drawings, Cooking, and sleight-of-hand with cards

Favorite Quote: "Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow." Aesop

Since February 2000, Steve has been working at Telusys in the interactive media area. When he is not working his magic at Smartypants Media, Steve is practicing card tricks at home. "Magic is similar to creating interactive web sites," says Steve. "For example, you can move a mouse over a button on the screen, and that button can instantly change shape."

To build interactive sites, Steve pulls several design tools from his sleeve: Flash animation, Java Script, and HTML. Recent projects include web sites for the American Academy of Periodontology, and the Michigan Dermatological Society.

He also spent considerable time combining video, animation, and sound for Telusys’ own marketing CD-ROM that was unveiled at Association Forum’s 2001 Technology Solutions Day last week.
