Bonnie Folkerts, ASID MN Membership Director, speaks to their impact:
Letitia Little and Barbara Haften are tireless workers and enthusiastic supporters of our ASID Minnesota Chapter!
They understand the importance of current interior design students as the future of our industry. Outreach and presentations to students at all schools in our territory is an ongoing priority. They plan and orchestrate the much anticipated and well-attended annual Student Affairs Day and the Portfolio Review. These events come to fruition each year because of their time, talents, and dedication. New opportunities to attract and retain our members are welcomed and eagerly implemented by these hardworking women and their committee members. We are fortunate to have Letitia and Barbara co-chairing the Membership Committee.

Event Description:
Light plays a vital role in our experiences. It can help us feel comfortable, energized, focused, excited or relaxed. So why do we often treat light as a mere utility? A utility that just turns on and off versus a beautiful, nuanced material that evokes the same emotions we feel during a sunrise or a sunset?
Emulating these experiences in our homes is the future of lighting and we can create a unique experience by employing the dynamic nature of lighting in the home.
Join us to learn more about how light affects the look and feel of every material, and how using flexible, energy-efficient LED light sources can create comfortable beautiful and dynamic lighting environments to showcase your designs.
