President’s Message
It is with great excitement and trepidation that I begin my term as ASID Hawaii Chapter President. I have been involved in our chapter for over 25 years and have served at many different levels. When I joined ASID as a student we were a thriving chapter with great member participation. Over time I have noticed less and less participation by our members. We are beginning our year without a President-Elect which is very alarming.
My hope for the year ahead is that we can come together as a chapter as well as a design community, involving all the design related, professional organizations; NKBA, AIA, IIDA, DOCOMOMO, BIA. Together we are stronger and can accomplish more for our industry and our profession. If we work together we can bring greater continuing education opportunities to our members, create better events and networking opportunities. I welcome any new ideas you may have, your input is critical to the success of our chapter.
We are changing up our design awards this year, Stay tuned for all the exciting news and get your entries ready. We will be moving up the date of the Design Excellence Awards this year so that we are not in conflict with the other associations; more details to come.
We will be having our first board meeting of the year on October 20 at my home. If you are interested in attending please let me know. We welcome anyone who wants to get to know how our association works and perhaps consider serving on the board in the near future or on one of our committees this year. We have lots of exciting ideas to explore and we will definitely need help to make them all happen.
My goal this year is to get more engagement from our long-time members as well as our new members. Any association is only as good as its members’ participation. We will be reaching out and asking for your support and involvement, I hope we will be met with a YES!
I look forward to re connecting with all the members I know and meeting all the members I haven’t had the opportunity to meet yet. Together we can make an impact!!

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives. For more info:

ASID members must earn a minimum of 1.0 unit (10 hours) of approved continuing education (CEU) every two years. The current reporting period is from 1/1/18-12/31/19. We’ve updated the instructions for CEU reporting that align with IDCEC’s new website to help you navigate the process.
ASID members are to utilize the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) registry to warehouse CEUs. Every ASID member has a unique IDCEC number to login into the website (your IDCEC number is different than your ASID number). The IDCEC user registry allows you to upload and track your continuing education activity as well as store a record under your account. Check your IDCEC account regularly to ensure your records are up to date.
Each year, ASID recognizes the exemplary achievements and outstanding service demonstrated by highly engaged members, chapters, student chapters, and industry partners through our awards and honors programs.
