President’s Message
Well, It’s hard to believe that the first month has gone by already. We are happy to announce that we now have our President-Elect in place; DeeDee Ackerman from Maui has stepped up to support our chapter and we couldn’t be happier. We now have a full board and several people lined up for the slate next year. Please consider stepping up and getting on the slate for next year’s open board positions: Financial Director, President-Elect, Communications Director and Professional Development Director. The election will take place from January 15 to 25. All terms are for two years except for President-Elect, which is one year. Drop me an email if you are interested in being a board member.
On the agenda is the ASID Awards which after careful consideration we have decided to keep later in the year with final event at the end of September or beginning of October. We have some fun ideas and want to make sure we give ourselves the time we need to make the awards something very special. We welcome any participation on our awards committee. It takes a village to create a great event like this.
As you are all aware, our industry is constantly changing. Our challenges seem to be growing and we all need to support each other and our industry as we educate the public on why it is so important to work with ASID professionals. ASID national is doing their part to raise awareness, and we can do the same locally. To that end, we are trying to get a social media committee started. We need volunteers to help create a social media presence for our chapter. This is the way people are communicating today and we need to get on board. Please let me know if you’d like to be a part of this new committee. The idea is to involve chapter members to take turns providing content. This is a way to reach a broader audience, share your work and raise awareness of the importance of working with professional designers.
We value our members’ input and welcome any suggestions on how we can improve your membership experience. Please don’t hesitate to give me a call, I am always available to the membership.

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. 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.
