Dear Chapter Members, I am Sandi Allan, your ASID California Central | Nevada Chapter Administrator. I work from our Chapter offices, in the Las Vegas Design Center, 3 half days per week. I know many of you have not met me due to the large expanse of our chapter borders, so I'm taking this opportunity to introduce myself. If you are ever at the Las Vegas Design Center, please stop by and say hello. Your Chapter is diligently working on some fabulous programming for the next few months. We have some great events planned that will expand your expertise and even teach you some brand new skills. We also invite you to join us for our upcoming Mix & Mingle socials, which will enable you to network and build professional relationships with fellow ASID members, designers in other associations, as well as with our valued Industry Partner businesses. I encourage you get involved, and to attend any and all of the events in your community! If there are no events planned near you, think about what you can do to help, and contact me info@asidcanv.org, or Cindy Collins profdevelopment@asidcanv.org. We'd love to hear your ideas on how we can engage ASID members in your area. For complete event listings, please visit www.asidcanv.org. As Sean Tanner, Chapter President, mentioned in last month's newsletter, ASID California Central | Nevada Chapter is hosting the 2015 Design Excellence Awards in collaboration with the Las Vegas Design Center. Our Chapter Area is full of amazingly innovative, cleverly creative designers just bursting with talent who deserve to be noticed, and we plan to do just that! The program will culminate in an elegant Awards Reception, on Monday, August 3rd, during Summer Market in Las Vegas, so save the date and stay tuned for more details. With Warm Regards, Sandi Allan
