President's Letter
Dear San Diego Chapter Members,
It’s been a very fast paced 30 + days as your president!. Sitting in the president elect position I had the opportunity to learn a lot and I thank our past president for her dedication and commitment to this chapter. With each chapter president, it should be our goal to continue to build on the successes (and learn from the lessons) of those before us. The Board of Directors is crucial in helping to plan and accomplish these goals. Sometimes the strengthening of this chapter may not be apparent immediately, but over time as we move forward it can be what really makes a difference for the betterment and value to our members overall. It is our goal to leave this Chapter better than we found it and that was accomplished. Accolade’s’ are due to Jennifer Beckley Sides, and to all our past Presidents and their boards for their time investment!
It is my honor to be in the position of your president for our San Diego chapter as we enter a new era, which is all welcoming. Our national leadership has created the affiliate category which will include most of our current local vendors who used to be called industry partners, as well as all people who support our industry. The goals for my term are to keep the doors open and welcome to all. To strengthen our community with engaging programs. We want to educate the public so that ASID is what comes to mind when seeking the services of an Interior Designer, Design Firm or specialty.
This year Kirsten Reece is the very first Industry Partner to hold the position of President-Elect and we are learning so much already having her a part of this Board of Directors. We want to be partners with those that serve our design community and help us do our job better every day. For the many years of business that I have worked, my local vendors, craftsman and artists have been my backbone. We are all here to help each other and our San Diego chapter has more opportunities to make a difference in our community.
