Happy September!
As we come upon the end of the 2014-15 fiscal year there are so many exciting things that have happened in the last year. The ANDYZ Awards was successful for it's first year with over 75 entries and the Awards Ceremony at Summer Market was well received.
Carson Kressley and Christopher Kennedy did a fabulous job as our Master of Ceremonies their humor everyone laughing. We hope to build upon that in the coming year and double the number of entries! And behind every great event is a team of amazing hard working people, on behalf of our chapter I'd like to
thank our Director at Large and ANDYZ committee chair Jane Cunningham and Amanda Cunningham for all there hard work! Get ready for next year ladies!
Another accomplishment our chapter's social media took huge strides and you our faithful members are starting the catch up on the social media world, and with your tech savvy communications director! We're now on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and recently we launched our houzz site. You might be wondering what we (ASID) can benefit from being on houzz? If your business has a houzz page then you need to go like the ASID California Central Nevada Chapter page, by doing this you will have the ASID badge automatically added to your business profile alerting all home owners and potential clients that you're an ASID member. Pretty cool huh?! On our houzz page you'll also find photos of our events.
ASID also celebrated our 40th Anniversary this year! Such an honor to be apart of such a milestone and think how far we as a Design Community has come over the past 40 years! Designer's in states are now recognized for by the state as being licensed or certified, we're being recognized as professionals and not decorators, the public is understating what a benefit a designer can be for them and so much more. In celebration of the 40th milestone Cosentino locations across the US took part in celebrating our 40th by throwing a 40th Anniversary Party and raising money for the ASID Foundation. This past week I received the results to see which chapter made the most money for the ASID Foundation. I wasn't surprised we didn't raise much money only $168, even though the event was set up so if members couldn't attend you could still donate via eventbrite. However it was disappointing to not see more of you our members out at the 40th Anniversary Party. I understand it was summertime and people are busy but this was a chance to say thank you for 40 years and give back to ASID an organization that has helped design professionals and industry professionals become as successful as we are today!
We're also in the CEU Race with the other 49 ASID Chapters to see which chapter can get all there members to report they're CEU's by October 31!
The chapter with the highest membership percentage to reach CEU compliance by October 31 will win $1000! And to sweeten the deal, if the percentage compliance of the winning chapter reaches over 85%, then the grand prize increases to $1500!
The winning money goes towards the chapter to host something fun or educational for you our members.
As of August 5 we're in 20th place with 27 members who have FULLY reported the 1.0CEUs/10 hours out of 156 members that are required to report! That's only 17.31%!!!
I know you all have your CEU's it's now time to start scanning those certificates and login to IDCEC to report your CEU's. Alabama is still currently in 1st place!
Next month October we're kicking the new 2015-16 Fiscal Year off with a bang and we hope you'll join us in celebrating a new year! You'll notice some great changes this coming year regularly scheduled monthly meetings. The
First Wednesday of every month a California Event will be held. Every
Second Wednesday of every month a Las Vegas Event will be held. At our October events the
ENTIRE board will be in attendance! We hope that you'll come join us in Falling Back into ASID and meet some Industry Partners, Emerging Professionals, Students, and Professional ASID members from the other sides of our chapter. For
California our
October 7th event will be held in
Stockton at KTJ Design Co. For
Las Vegas our
October14th event will be held at
Domsky's Glass. Hope to see you all out at our October Events!
Finally Industry Partners I hope you've all heard about Crew 49! If you haven't it's our sponsorship program for the coming year. If you're company or you yourself (IP) are interested in hosting an event, sponsoring an event, or have a CEU topic you'll like to present please see the set dates of our calendar to schedule your CEU topic or sponsor an event! The chapter board has put together sponsorship levels for you to select from. Once the spaces are filled that's all that's available so sign up now and reserve the dates you want before they're gone!!! Please see the Crew 49 section below or on our chapters website under
Crew 49 tab for further information! For questions regarding Crew 49 feel free to contact any of the 2015-16 board members including myself.
Thank you for reading through this the first member to email me back with the color of the new Crew 49 logo will receive a special discount code towards one regular event this coming year! The first IP member to email me back with the color of the Crew 49 logo will receive a 25% discount on a table top at an event this year. The first EP and Student to email me back with the location of GoPRO this October will get yourself and one guest in for
FREE at the October event!

Are you ready to GO PRO? Then join us Thursday, October 15th-Friday, October 16th at the 5th Annual ASID GO PRO event being held at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The five GO PRO program topics will be PROfessional Development, PROcess, PROduct, PRO Bono, and PROject. Each of these categories will feature a different aspect of the design, development, and construction of the Barclays Center, which will be presented by the construction and design teams that were involved in the project from inception through completion. Those that attend the event will be treated to a tour of the Barclays Center and will be able to experience the impact of the design process. The goal is that attendees will leave the event with a "holistic understanding of the complexity of completing the project."
ASID is looking to bring together the best of the emerging design professionals so if you are interested in attending the event please request an application. Attendees that are selected to attend will be notified by September 17, 2015. For more details about the event and how to apply follow the link:
