E-Newsletter: January/February 2020
President’s Message
The FY2020 election will start on January 15. Please watch for an email from Election Buddy for your link to the ballots. Voting will end at 5pm on January 25. Your slate of candidates are listed further down in this newsletter.
Our chapter will be participating in the upcoming BIA Homebuilding and Remodeling Show and need volunteers for Saturday and Sunday (January 25 and 26). Please contact McKenna at mckenna@funghawaii.com if you can help out.
Don’t forget to register for the upcoming CEU: The New Consumer ‘Neo versus Traditional’ on January 24. This presentation uncovers why targeting the new consumer versus the traditional will drastically change your sales, marketing, and pricing strategies forever. Attendees will learn who spends the most, discover insights into their consumer’s values, attitudes and ultimately, buying behavior and communication preference. Most importantly, attendees will learn how to quickly connect with their customer, close jobs faster, work less, and maximize their projects!
We are ironing out the details for the Design Excellence Awards that will be held on June 27, so be sure to save the date. We have a new and exciting format this year, and hope that many of you enter. Please watch for our email with more details soon.

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.

Forbes
For two lucky viewers, this year’s Super Bowl won’t just mean bragging rights or a smorgasbord of finger foods and beer.

During the big game February 2, the Rocket Mortgage Squares contest will offer $50,000 in cash for randomly drawn winners at each score change (up to 30 of them). At the end of the game, two grand-prize winners will get $500,000 to potentially use toward their dream home. What that “dream home” will look like, though? Well, that depends on where those winners are located.

Vogue
