IT HAS BEEN MY HONOR TO SERvE ON THE BOARD of Directors for the past four years. It is humbling to now serve as your President. Our Chapter is highly respected and recognized on a National level in many areas. We have been leaders in ASID for decades and hopefully, we will continue that tradition.
My transition to President has been well paved by my recent predecessors Gretchen Palmer, Allied ASID, and Cindy Lewton, ASID. We worked closely together for the past three years to restore successful policies, procedures and protocols. The established structure gave us the ability to focus on expanding our financial stability and membership growth. Standing on firmer ground, we may now turn our attention to what I am calling “Elevating the Society.”
ASID is the leading organization in our industry, yet the value of our services and even our membership in the organization are not given the recognition deserved. The value of belonging to ASID will be a major focus this year. Programs, educational seminars and mentoring activities are planned to connect members and increase public awareness of our positive impact on the human experience. To ensure the long term viability of ASID AZ North Chapter, this value has to be emphasized.
Every member can help “Elevate the Society” by finding a way to be involved in the work that we do. We need all members to serve on committees, to share ideas, and to volunteer for community service projects. Being involved is energizing and rewarding! Students are an asset and boost to our organization. They need practitioners willing to establish relationships that will encourage their long term interest in interior design. A group of our Past-Presidents are working on a program to connect students and practitioners to prepare students for the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) exam and work in the industry. This exceeds Real World Design Week and will be an ongoing program that values high levels of professionalism and achievement in interior design.
I want to acknowledge the role and strength of Industry Partner (IP) members. ASID AZ North Chapter has tremendous support from our IPs and I thank them for their continuous participation in Chapter activities. These important relationships will be strengthened this year as we connect IPs and practitioners in meaningful ways. IPs may expect broader exposure to the membership and the membership will learn more about the benefits of working with our IPs.
The Board of Directors and I look forward to another great year. Please communicate your thoughts and keep us aware of how we are doing. Expanded Chapter communications will make this easier through email and Facebook. Don’t forget to “Elevate the Society” every chance you get.

WELCOME TO F ALL . O CTOBER WELCOMES
ASID’s new fiscal year and Board of Directors. Some of our Board Members, including me, are continuing our position for another year. Thank you for entrusting me as the Chapter’s Finance Director. It’s a privilege to serve you and I’m honored to do so.
As the steward of the Chapter’s funds, here’s what the finance director does; he or she helps develop the strategic plan, operating plan, and budget; oversees deposits of all Chapter funds, and makes authorized disbursements. Overseeing the Chapter’s checking, savings and investment accounts is a key responsibility, as is timely payment of all documented committee expenditures. The finance director prepares tax returns and provides the Board with a written monthly report on the Chapter’s income and expenses, bank balances and financial status. An annual financial statement for the Chapter Membership and quarterly financial reports for ASID National are prepared and submitted by the finance director. Our Chapter’s Executive Administrator, Deb Ritchie, supports the finance director, and our CPA assists with financial reports.
Overseeing the Chapter’s signature fund-raising program Design for Hire is the responsibility of the finance director. Each Spring, for a limited time, this annual win-win-win program offers homeowners and Chapter interior designers the opportunity to work together and develop business relationships, while raising funds for Chapter philanthropy such as interior design student scholarships and Chapter programs. This year the program expanded with Design for Hire –Professional. It offers real estate agents, builders, contractors and other professionals an opportunity to work with, develop business relationships and benefit our Chapter.The Professional program runs continuously throughout the year. If you haven’t participated in Design for Hire, please consider it − in addition to helping your Chapter, you have an opportunity to win new clients!
Is managing money and overseeing financial matters something you enjoy?
Consider becoming our next finance director that will take office in October 2015. I’d welcome a discussion or be happy to answer questions about the position. Please email me at finance@asidaznorth.org.

TASID ARIZONA NORTH CHAPTER: HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU, KID!
HE 2014 PINNACLE OF RECOGNITION OF THE CHAPTER’S CREATIvE
forces was the ASID Arizona North Chapter’s Design Excellence Awards Gala. With so many spectacular works year after year, certainly our unique Sonoran Desert inspires and influences our designers to create such beautiful spaces within the walls and outside of them.
In luxurious surroundings on a beautiful August evening, we were dazzled with all of the winning projects and celebrated their designers. ASID Arizona North Chapter proudly recognized Practitioners that excelled in residential and commercial interior design and Industry Partners that excelled in product design.
Alyshaan Fine Rugs, an ASID Arizona North Chapter Industry Partner, was elevated to Diamond Level and recognized for their unending support. In support of Smile Train, which benefits children born with cleft palates, Alyshaan challenged Gala attendees to donate and generously matched all of the donations.
It is the energy and effort of our volunteers that keeps our Chapter thriving, and we appreciate and recognize those who give generously of their time and talent.
ASID Arizona North Chapter also recognizes those that better our community-at-large through their commitment to the arts and enhancing quality of life.
As we move forward in the next year, our new Board of Directors is ready to propel the ASID Arizona North Chapter even further. Did you know that we have one of the largest and most active Chapters in the country? And, our student membership also continues to be one of the largest and most active. Students and Emerging Professionals (Student ASID members that transition to allied membership in the first five years post-graduation) infuse our Chapter with fresh, creative juices. Look for Emerging Professional profiles in future Desert Design Magazine issues.
The future of our Chapter is bright and poised for growth.

DESIGN FOR HIRE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
BY F. CHRISTOPHER WEST, INDUSTRY PARTNER REP. FOR v ALLEY LIGHT GALLERY, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
ASID ARIZONA NORTH CHAPTER IS EMBARKING on a mission to connect with Valley real estate companies and offices to give a 5 to 10 minute presentation to introduce and promote the benefits of the Design for Hire Professional program.
If you are a Realtor® as well as a designer, we’d appreciate either a connection or your help in securing an opportunity for one of our Design for Hire Professional volunteers to present at one of your office meetings.
The Design for Hire Professional is a Chapter fund-raising program that offers residential and commercial real estate agents, builders, contractors and other professionals a two-hour design consultation
for $150. Practitioners donate their time for a twohour consultation in exchange for an opportunity to earn additional business and new relationships, while helping our Chapter with fund-raising. The funds are received and used by ASID Arizona North Chapter for philanthropy and educational programs.
Design for Hire Professional clients may be interested in a two-hour consultation for staging, furniture placement, accessorizing, or envisioning the potential of a renovation or remodel.
Our business is built on relationships and we are looking for personal connections to open the doors to various real estate brokerages. If you would like to help, please contact us at 602-505-0360 or by email at amystrang1@gmail.com.
RED B RUNCH IS an event to remember those we have lost to AIDS, and to honor and celebrate those working every day to slow and stop the spread of HIV.
ASID Arizona North Chapter is partnering with Aunt Rita’s Foundation to raise funds through the donation and sale of holiday wreaths and teddy bears. This is a great way for our members to channel their creativity. The wreaths and teddy bears can be adorned in holiday themes or themes or themes of importance to the AIDS/HIV community. All proceeds go to Aunt Rita’s Foundation. For additional information, contact Brian Gallop, Industry Partner Rep. for Central Arizona Supply at briang@centralazsupply.com.

STATE OF THE CHAPTER – SEPTEMBER 2014
BY GRETCHEN PALMER, ALLIED ASID, IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT
PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING OUR outgoing Student Representative to the Board Edie Parsons and welcome Jewell Blair as your new President, Keith Stanton as President Elect and Janet Jackson, Membership Director.You’re in great hands – be on the lookout for great things to come.
I cannot say thank you enough to the Committee Chairs,Volunteers, Members, Sponsors and Industry Partners that make our Chapter extraordinary.Your Board of Directors and Executive Administrator have literally spent hundreds of hours in Board Meetings, working sessions, and representing ASID at different functions throughout the Valley over this past year. So, when you get a chance, please extend a thank you to them for their endeavors.
Their efforts have paid off. We have solidified operating procedures, established an office, fine-tuned our communications, and have worked to bring relevant and interesting speakers and events.
MeMBershiP: We continued to grow our membership, which is currently 712.
• Professional .....................................138
• Industry Partners .............................162
PUBLic reLations and asid Brand awareness: I’m proud of our efforts to increase public awareness of professional design and ASID via the following:
A Public Relations firm was hired and issued press releases that resulted in articles in various media, which:
• Increased Design for Hire program awareness, participation and Chapter revenue.
• Resulted in 2014 ASID Design Excellence Awards Gala media coverage in Front Door and the Lymphoma Research Foundation and Art for Abused Children of Arizona donor bases.
• Received society coverage in Arizona Foothills on the 2014 ASID Design Excellence Awards Gala.
ASID Arizona North Chapter became a major sponsor of the March 2015 Scottsdale Home & Furnishings Show that will be held at West World. This includes vast exposure of our logo in show ads (print and online publications) in AZ Business, AZRE, AZ Business Leaders, and Scottsdale Living, Arizona Republic, AZcentral.com, Front Door and
Arcadia News. Ads will also run on billboards and on television Channels 3, 5, 10 and 12 ads and radio station ads on News Talk 5500, KTAR, KFNX, KFNT, KFNN, 99.9 KEZ.
financiaL: We remain one of the strongest Chapters in the country with a balance sheet in excess of $300,000 in combined operating, savings, reserves and scholarship accounts.
coMMUnications: Significant effort went into refining and sustaining three (3) primary methods of organized outreach and an increased emphasis on social media.
Chapter Buzz – Weekly emails with event announcements from our Chapter, ASID National, Industry Partners, and Chapter-sponsored events.
Creative Brief – A monthly e-newsletter focused on interior design industry information, education and re-caps of Chapter events.
Desert Design Magazine (DDM) – A print magazine mailed to all Chapter members and Industry Partner members, which is focused on Chapter news and information, interior design industry information, education and Chapter events.
coMMittees: The committee restructuring that began two years ago continues to improve efficiency and consistency through ongoing membership rather than recruiting and forming all new committees at the start of each fiscal year. Each committee chair is tasked with training a replacement chair or co-chairs and finding the appropriate volunteers to accomplish the committee objectives and tasks.
Programs for designers and students – New locations, dynamic programs and extraordinary speakers provided members opportunities to learn more about design, the industry, and business practices, as well as earn CEUs.
fund-raising – Design for Hire was a great success, and we’re just starting to see results of the new Design for Hire Professional series. The initial feedback has been outstanding.
industry Partners – We continue to foster a strong commitment of support for our Industry Partners through networking and connections, educating and assisting them on developing working relationship with designers and the IP Donuts & Dialogue events.

■ T RANSITION
STUDENT REPRESENTATIvE TO THE BOARD TRANSITION
BY EDIE PARSONS, STUDENT ASID, IMMEDIATE PAST STUDENT REPRESENTATI v E TO THE BOARD
As my term as ASID Arizona North Chapter Student Representative to the Board (SRB) came to a close October 1, 2014, I want to say what a pleasure it has been to serve. I have truly enjoyed every minute of this experience. When the former SRB, Amber Rice, was passing the torch she said, “This is a very prestigious position; you should be proud to serve on the Board.” Oh how right she was!
It’s scary and intimidating to be changing careers mid-life, but feeling nothing but support and encouragement from all levels within ASID and the design community has been tremendous and very welcoming.
I have met some very wonderful people along the way; people I now consider mentors and colleagues, and those I am happy to call friends.
Thank you for allowing me this prestigious and wonderful opportunity.

REAPING THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
BY JEWELL BLAIR, ALLIED ASID, PRESIDENT
Being a Student Member of ASID certainly has its benefits! Just ask Kamberly Wilbourne. This spring Kamberly participated in the student design competition Charrette that was held at Mesa Community College. She was on the winning team. The prize for the winning team was a complimentary ticket to the 2014 ASID Design Excellence Awards Gala, held at the Phoenician Resort in August.
Kamberly also took advantage of her membership by attending our Chapter’s Student Career Day. The event featured presentations by ASID practitioner designers and industry partners and wrapped up with a raffle for all attendees. Raffle prizes included a free one-year ASID membership, a ticket to the 2014 ASID Design Excellence Awards Gala, and free admission to Design Camp at the Las Vegas Design World Market (valued at over $1200). Kamberly was the winner of the Design Camp.
Of her experience, Kamberly said, “Thank you so much for funding my attendance to Las Vegas Mart and Interior Design Camp. It was really an amazing experience and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be inspired, to network and represent ASID Arizona North Chapter! I highly recommend the event to rookies (like me) and veterans alike. Thanks again! So happy to be an ASID member, especially in the Arizona North Chapter!”
