If selected as a chapter leader, what key goals would you set and how would you propose achieving those goals?

We have many very talented and creative Interior Designers who are members of
ASID San Diego.  One goal would be to encourage the Allied Members to reach their highest potential by sitting for and passing the NCIDQ exam and become 'Professional Members.  Another goal is to encourage our Chapter to have relevant educational meetings and CEUs that are not only inspiring but, help members maintain the best business practices.  The third goal is to encourage member enthusiasm, show ways that they can showcase their work and network, and be actively involved with our San Diego Chapter.

If selected as a chapter leader, what key goals would you set and how would you propose achieving those goals?

One key goal I would set is to increase engagement within the community. This
would include more interactions and dialogue between members on platforms like
Facebook and Instagram. Creating monthly content that promotes discussion and
collaboration. Providing useful tips and tricks for emerging and seasoned professionals
would create further value of the membership fee. Having spent a year in a pandemic, I
find it critical to keep the morale of the community lively and strong!
