March 2015 Newsletter
Letter from the Board

Dear Chapter Members,

 

ASID members must earn a minimum of 1.0 (10 hours) approved continuing education units (CEU) every two years. The current reporting period is from January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2015.

 

ASID bylaws and policies require all practitioner members (Professional, Allied, and Associate members) to meet the continuing education requirement. The reporting of CEU's is tracked and stored by the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) using your personal account number. It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of your account. For additional information, click on the IDCEC section of the ASID website.

 

Your membership in the ASID gives you access to online learning addressing Health, Safety and Welfare along with business strategies. For a listing of courses, click on the ONLINE LEARNING tab of the ASID website.

 

At our local chapter, we are teaming up with our Industry Partners to provide CEU's and are looking forward to combining events with other design organizations as well. We are currently targeting Las Vegas, Reno and Sacramento areas but are looking for Design Coordinators for Fresno area.

 

We are continually adding events to our calendar so check our newsletter asidcanv.org and look for the evites in your inbox.

 

As ASID members, you have the opportunity to network with other designers, Industry Partners and potential new members. Contact me if you have a showroom available for a "Meet and Greet" or event suggestion at [email protected] 

 

Looking forward to a great 2015!

 

Cindy Collins, Allied ASID, CID
