Validation Rule for Contacts Pertaining to a Specific Account

I am attempting to write a validation rule to fulfill a customer request. Essentially, we have a custom field on the contact record called "Division". The short version is, I would like a validation rule that restricts a record from being created/saved if "Division" is blank when the related account = 0013200001FTkYh (ID of the account in question). Any help would be appreciated!

That did not quite do it for me, but it helped point me in the correct direction, thanks! I actually got it to work with the following: 
AND( 
AccountId = '0013200001FTkYh', 
ISBLANK( Division__c ))

Hey Chris, Use your account name instead of Edge Communications and the correct API name for the division field.

Try this: 
AND( IF( Account.Name = 'Edge Communications', true, false), ISBLANK( Division__c ) )
