President’s Message
Your chapter Board of Directors is looking for ways to give back to our members and we want to hear from you! To continue to better our chapter, we are hoping to send out quarterly surveys, with different topics and categories. This quarter’s survey focuses on social media and publishing outlets. You should have already received the email containing the survey link. It is a short 10-question survey, so please take a few minutes to complete it. Those who complete the survey will be entered to win a $25 Amazon gift card. The survey will close on July 30 at 6:00pm.
The Systemcenter is hosting a live double CEU event at their showroom. This event aims to educate participants on why people need a strong connection to nature at work, the benefits of making these connections through purposeful design, and the tools architects and designers can use to bring the indoors out and the outdoors in in both practical and inspirational ways in the future.

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.
