The Glia Group was formed in February, 2000 by three individuals whose experience in conceptualizing and creating Web sites stretches back to 1994. Glia's three principals, Mary Beth Guard, Michele Petry and Carin Eisenhauer, are joined by veteran banking attorney Sam Ott, patent attorney/telecommunications expert Lynndon Michael Guard, superstar saleswoman Tobi Chunowitz, who serves as national Internet director for the company, and graphics designer Chad Harrison. Glia Group, Inc. has partnered with the Bankers Information Network to create BankersOnline.com, the premier portal for the financial services industry. BankersOnline.com has quickly become the most heavily-trafficked banking site on the Internet. In the early days of the Web, members of the group created OBA Online (the Oklahoma Bankers Association’s extensive member site, which received national recognition) and the well-regarded BankersNet of Kentucky (Kentucky Bankers Association). They were also responsible for the editorial content, design, and creation of four large and highly complex ecommerce and banking-related portals for a large global corporation. The experience of Glia’s distributed work team ranges from creation of a virtual trade show, complete with streaming video, to the development of interactive quizzes and innovative chat sessions. The company excels at delivering novel solutions that ensure the best possible positioning of its clients’ product and services offerings, whatever they might be. Glia's mission is to effectively leverage its knowledge and expertise in the Internet domain and financial industry for the development and promotion of powerful and effective Internet information and commerce sites.
