Stadium Managers Association Spotlight: ColorID

​We recently became a corporate member for the  Stadium Managers Association and are excited about the upcoming annual conference this February.  In addition to the conference, we were asked to be apart of their member spotlight for the month of January.  Check out the article below and learn more about the Stadium Managers Association today.

​January 2019 Member Spotlight - ColorID, LLC
Company Name: ColorID, LLC
Primary Contact: Jacqui Chenard
 
Company Description / What does your company do? 
For over the past twenty years,ColorID has been a highly regarded value-added integrator of security, identification, access control and biometric solutions. Though primarily focused on specific North American vertical markets, ColorID is also a provider to organizations around the world. The company’s knowledgeable and customer-focused sales and product management teams help our customers select the best products and services from well-respected and innovative software and hardware suppliers. After the sale, ColorID’s engineering team provides exceptional support for the life of those products.  Our product portfolio in relation to the Stadium Managers Association consists of large format credentials (Press/VIP/Field passes), Credential badge printers and software, biometric readers (iris/face/palm vein/fingerprint) as well as physical and virtual contactless smart cards for building access.
What we would change about the industry:
Security is of the utmost concern to all public facilities at this time, with extra emphasis on high profile facilities.  With varying levels of security at different venues, the need for industry guidelines/protocols for physical access management, secure contactless credentials and biometric authentication must be created to incorporate layers of security in the industry. 
 
An idea or invention that we wish we had thought of..
The thing that is glued to my hands/head at all times: Smart phone (and while we’re at it, heated stadium seating).
 
One of our favorite stories that we tell about the business.
If you were to speak with any member of the ColorID Family regarding working here, the majority would comment on the unique culture.  There is truly a sense of family, instilled by our owners.   It is our goal to extend that culture to our customers.   
 
A great example of ColorID’s culture at work.   In 2013, within days of the Boston Marathon bombing, a native Bostonian ColorID staff member became aware of the “Boston One Fund.”  By purchasing the Boston One T-shirt, proceeds went to assist the victims of the bombing.   It took ColorID’s owner not a split second to say, “Order one for everyone on staff.” As ColorID’s Healthcare Division customers included the major hospitals caring for the injured, we decided to send along the below photo to let them know our company was standing strong with Boston.   To take it one step further, members of the staff had their children’s classrooms write cards to the first responders and hospital staff which we sent along to each of the hospitals.   We understand the cards lined the hallways of the hospital for weeks to come.   From the mouths of babes…the cards were incredible!
 
Quote that inspires the work that we do. “With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.”- Thomas Fowell Buxton

What are you most looking forward to about Seminar?  
We are extremely excited to put faces with the names and voices we’ve been speaking to over the years. Additionally, we are grateful to be able to print and issue all of the conference badges onsite at registration. It will be a great opportunity to meet/greet everyone and for attendees to be able to see the credential printer system in action.
