President’s Message
Aloha,
Judging for the Design Excellence Awards is almost finished. We will not be holding a physical awards ceremony this year, but plan to announce the winners in the Fall. We do not have an exact date yet. We are looking into hosting a virtual event, but that information won't be finalized until the end of July. We will keep you informed as we progress and finalize the details.
ASID is conducting a resiliency survey. The purpose of this research study is to examine attributes of interior design professionals, their experiences during the pandemic, and expected changes in the design of the built environment. This study seeks to identify issues interior design businesses and professionals face during major disruptions, track changes implemented in the industry, test the viability of industry-wide changes, and demonstrate the value of design.
The ‘health check-up’ from the Resiliency Report throughout and after COVID-19 will offer a holistic view of the vigor of our interior design community and develop new best practices to assist the industry at an individual and organizational level.

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.
