Aloha, ASID Hawaii Chapter Members:
Happy New Year! Please keep a look out for some exciting upcoming announcements, events, and activities we have planned for this year (see calendar of events below). We are still adjusting to this virtual world, and will attempt to host virtual events until further notice.

We have our first virtual CEU event of the year on Wednesday, January 27 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Our friends at TERRAMAI will be presenting “Designing Healthier Spaces with Wood,” which explores the greater benefits of reclaimed wood and its potential as a design element. Learn how wood is healthier for occupants, businesses and the environment. You can RSVP through Eventbrite and a virtual link will be sent to you at a later date: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-designing-healthier-spaces-with-wood-ceu-tickets-134615014131?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch

Adapting Design Thinking to Ensure a Healthier, More Sustainable and Connected Future
Interiors+Sources
Designers are always planning ahead. They see not only the aesthetic potentials of built environments, but more importantly, how they can better serve and communicate with the communities that will use them for years to come. The COVID-19 pandemic has complicated our relationship to physical space. However, designers are utilizing the current state of affairs as a meaningful opportunity to rethink shared spaces and make them healthier, more adaptable and more user-friendly, ultimately bringing us back together.
Bring Back the Front Porch
Tree Hugger
"The porch is one of the few 'magical intermediate zones' in urbanism where people can be partly-in, partly-out, able to both feel comfortable on their own turf and comfortable interacting with previously-unknown strangers. It is this intermediate space which, more than any other place in the built environment, encourages humans to act like neighbors again."

Interior Design Trends to Know in 2021—And What’s on Its Way Out
Vogue
It used to be that our homes were a place for part of our lives. Much of the day was spent at the workplace, with a commute by train, bus, or car on either end. Often, we’d have plans before and after work too: maybe an early morning spin class, or a dinner at a favorite neighborhood restaurant. Simply put: many of us weren’t actually in our houses or apartments that much. The coronavirus pandemic changed all that. Now, much of America is working, socializing, exercising (and, well, doing mostly everything that ends in -ing) from our homes. And as we adjust the way we live, we’re also adjusting the spaces we live in.
Become a Chapter Sponsor

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to increase visibility through additional marketing, branding, special access, and deeper engagement with ASID members.

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.
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.
