LACERA's Communications Division has won the prestigious ARC (Annual Report Competition) Award for LACERA's 2005 annual report. The annual report was named 2006 Gold Award Winner in the Non-Profit Pension Fund category.
The international competition presented by MerComm, Inc. honors outstanding achievement in annual reports, and is the world's largest and most respected annual report competition. Approximately 2,000 entries from across the globe vie for recognition in this competition which is based on creativity, clarity, effectiveness and excellence. Elements considered in the judging include cover design, president's letter, interior design, clarity of written information, presentation of corporate information, expression of financial data, and how well the spirit of the organization is communicated.
 Preliminary judging is done by independent panels comprised of leaders in the fields of investor relations, writing, design, and photography. Final judging is made by presidents, CEOs and other senior members of corporations, advertising agencies, and design firms. Only the top 25 percent-scoring entries receive awards, and only one Gold Award is given in each category. If no entry scores high enough, no award is given.
As a Gold Award winner, the Communications Team has distinguished itself among an international field for its professionalism, creativity, and overall excellence. By virtue of the Gold Award, LACERA becomes a candidate for the Grand Awards, which will be presented at a gala awards ceremony in New York on September 14th. "The Academy Awards of Annual Reports."
An independent competition, the ARC Awards is the only annual report contest in the world not tied to a magazine or trade association.
