President's Message

Dear Member:

 

It has been an enormous pleasure to have served as the ASID Ohio North President this past year!

 

The chapter's annual meeting - Art Walk and Member Celebration - marked the last meeting under the leadership of the FY '13 Board of Directors. Thank you to all who came to support us celebrating the accomplishments of our chapter for 2012-13, and to welcome our new board of directors.  Check out photos of the event in this newsletter and on the chapter's Facebook page.

 

Two years ago I accepted the challenge to lead the ASID Ohio North Chapter with great honor, respect, excitement and a huge interest to learn more about the responsibilities of the position.  I had no hesitation to trust the team of talented volunteers who also accepted the responsibilities of their unique board directorship positions.  The team connected... we decided to experiment with different ideas and agreed to continue the momentum of a "well-oiled" chapter.  A huge thank you to Susan Kiel, our chapter's administrator - your knowledge and support were much appreciated. Thanks to all of the directors and all of those who have donated their time and talents to make our events and programs happen:

I have learned that members of ASID have amazing talents, varied skills and a fine sense of design and business. The society thrives under the diversity of interests and contribution to the profession of interior design. I have gained so much knowledge of leadership skills and resources that have contribute to both my professional and personal life.

 

My sincere congratulations to the new ASID Ohio North Board for 2013-2014 - a remarkable group of talented professionals. Laura Gills has proven to be a fantastic leader (her second time serving as board president).  Please help me welcome her back to the role of president, along with the new directors and those continuing into their second term on the board:

I will continue to attend chapter's events including socials and CEU's; as well as promoting educational activities for interior design students.
