Montreal, QC and New York, NY (Issues Wire / PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- Rideau Recognition Solutions Inc., North America's leading provider of Web-based incentive management programs, today is proud to announce that Peter Hart, President and CEO has accepted the position of Acting President of the Incentive Marketing Association's new Recognition Council.

"The Recognition Council will provide an awareness of how recognition and awards, in their many forms, are part of an effective strategy for achieving better business performance. The council's focus is to educate and promote the benefits of recognition and rewards to the world wide business community." states Karen Renk, Executive Director of IMA.

The Recognition Council will provide an awareness of how recognition and awards, in their many forms, are part of an effective strategy for achieving better business performance. The council's focus is to educate and promote the benefits of recognition and rewards to the world wide business community.

Rideau's Peter Hart feels that it is so important to create a Recognition Council within the IMA because there are so many companies offering products and web solutions under the banner of recognition without incorporating the recognition fundamentals. "A special interest group who specialize in all aspects of recognition is what the IMA really needs." believes Peter Hart, the Council's inaugural president.

The Recognition Council's acting Board of Directors includes: Peter Hart, CRP, Rideau Recognition Solutions, Council President; Susan Adams, Dittman Incentive Marketing Group, Council Vice President; Robbie Floyd, CRP, Diamond H Recognition, Council Vice President; Louise Anderson, Anderson Performance Improvement; Jeff Beegle, MotivAction; Karen Erbacher, Erbacher & Company; Jane Herod, Maritz Motivation; Tom Miller, The Miller Company; Rob Purdy, The Carlton Group; Beth Schleske, ITAGroup; and Michelle Smith, CPIM, CRP, O.C. Tanner. (CRP-Certified Professional of Incentive Management/CPIM - Certified Recognition Professional).
