Outgoing President’s Message
M
y oh my, this year has flown right on by! It truly does seem like my term as president of our great chapter just started, and here it is, already at the end. Time flies when you're having fun!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again... It takes a village to operate a chapter of our size, and no one can do it alone! I am very thankful to have had such a wonderful, supportive, and hardworking board. This year, I have been fully supported by my Board of Directors: Robin Burrill, Luis Araujo, Hugh Scarbrough, JD Carter, Robin Black, Roza Salazar, Becky Burrus, and Gracia Ferreyro, as well as Pat Gallagher, our Chapter Administrator (a.k.a. our glue!). As members, you are very fortunate to have the majority of this dynamic team continuing on next year as your leadership team. We've worked on some exciting things this past year that will be coming down the pipeline in months to come, but I also know the 2014-2015 Board will have even more exciting things to come!

I can honestly say that I'm a better person, business owner and leader for having served, and I now fully understand why so many of our past chapter leaders continue to volunteer their time and support our chapter - Passion!

OW! Where does time fly?
I can’t believe that it’s been over 10 years since I joined ASID and Connie Blake would call me when she would see us “in the news” to congratulate me. A couple years later Annie Mason invited me to join her FW DC leadership board and then a year later she asked me to take over the chair position. I’ve now been coming to board meetings for 7 years. It’s been a great experience working with all our wonderful professionals and industry partners. Many of you know that when I look to find “volunteers”, I don’t ask, I just tell them that they’d be great in “this” position and can I count on them?! Most people are flattered to be asked and yes, I’ve gotten turned down over the years, but for the most part, everyone has said YES!

Who do YOU know that hasn’t been active that you can ask to help build our organization? What new member have you met that is enthusiastic and is just waiting to be asked to assist? Now is the time for us to be The Voice of The Interior Design profession! Rosemarie Rene wears her ASID pin everywhere she goes…do you? Do you let your clients and your vendors know you’re part of the largest interior design organization? Do you ask your vendors to join? What about your friends that practice interior design that aren’t members? If you need assistance in getting them to join, the Texas chapter would be glad to help you and the team at ASID national is here as well. Invite them to your local design community meeting. Get them involved. Without all your help, we cannot BE the voice of Interior Design!
Membership Director 2014-2016 Adrian Galvan, Allied ASID Designology, The Science of Design
I’ve been honored to work with so many great people over the years and I’m looking forward to a great 2014-15 year as president of our chapter. By the time you get this magazine we will have had student symposium led by Marissa Marmolejos and will have had our first in person board meeting at the beautiful GE corporate location in Louisville, Kentucky. We are very fortunate to have industry partners that support us and in turn invite us to learn about their great products!
At-Large Director 2014-2016 Julie Reynolds, ASID, RID Julie Reynolds Interiors, Inc.
As I’ve been saying for a long time…if you’re interested in volunteering, please let us know…or one day you may be hearing from me! Thank you to all our volunteers for the 2014-15 year…it’s going to be a fun and successful year! Robin C. Burrill ASID Texas Chapter President 2014-2015

What Does the
Texas Chapter At-Large Board Member Do? The At-Large Board member serves as a resource for all of the membership categories in the Texas Chapter. Below are some areas where I can answer questions or get you the answer:
members and students are welcome to walk the Capitol halls with us to speak with legislators.
LEGISLATION & LEGISLATORS: Having visited many legislators since 2000 as a member of ASID and Texas Association for Interior Design, I have observed legislation passed or prevented from passing which would have affected the business of interior design. Legislators do not always foresee the consequences of their bills on our businesses. We informed about the important role in the built environment of Registered Accessibility Professionals and Lighting Designers when bills to abolish them were being discussed. Neither bill left Committee.
Questions about State of Texas laws and Federal regulations? Whereas the ADA affects public code regulated spaces, it does not apply to a personal residence. The EPA’s Lead-Safe law does affect working in pre-1978 homes, daycares and schools as does the Clean Air Act dealing with Asbestos. Federal, State and City Energy, Lead-Safe, Asbestos and OSHA regulations govern both commercial and residential projects.
Grandfathered Registered Interior Designer ASID members may call me with any questions about how the requirement to sit for the NCIDQ before 2017 to be able to remain RID might affect their businesses. 972-9310536 or julie.reynolds.interiors@gmail.com ASID Texas Chapter will have a 4 hour Legislative Training Symposium in February 2015 to inform about the status of actions at the National level to pass legislation that enables interior designers to bid on state and federal design contracts. Training on how to inform our Texas Legislators about issues which affect the way we conduct business will be practiced so we will be able to convey our concerns succinctly. I will advise ASID members about any legislative actions that affect the business of interior design in Texas and when action is needed. Texas Association for Interior Design will sponsor Legislative Days the first Monday and Tuesday in March, 2015, in Austin. All ASID members, Texas Chapter Board members, TAID Board members, TAID
REGREEN
Workshop
EDUCATION: Learning did not stop with graduation from school. ASID’s Continuing Education requirement allows both Health, Safety and Welfare topics and General category subjects. ASID’s ReGreen Training for Sustainable Remodeling, EPA’s Lead Safe Renovation, Repair and Paint Certification and the Revised CAL 117 Fire Resistant Upholstery methods CEU at the September Dallas Design Community meeting are recent examples of continuing education opportunities. Hundreds of pre-approved study topics can be viewed at www.IDCEC.org searchable on a spreadsheet organized by provider name or by course name and number. Having served for 4 years as an IDCEC course reviewer, I can answer your CEU questions or help you get immediate information. Julie Reynolds, ASID, julie.reynolds.interiors@gmail.com 972-931-0536
The REGREEN implementation workshop was held September 16 at the Cosentino Center Dallas. Cosentino representative Sarah Marek hosted a wonderful breakfast and lunch for the 14 participants. The workshop was facilitated by Annette Stelmack, Allied ASID, LEED AP BD+C. The 8 hour workshop is approved for 8 HSW credits through IDCEC. The balance of the online courses for certification are avaIiable at regreenprogram.com and can count as CEU credit. The REGREEN residential remodeling program makes the participants aware of multiple resources for sustainable residential design and best practices for sustainable residential remodeling. The major learning objectives of the class are to: • Identify strategies from the REGREEN Residential Remodeling Guidelines. • Understand the value of engaging whole-systems thinking and professional team integration. • Incorporate spatial relationships, adjacencies and best practices when developing space plans. • Select environmentally-preferable FF&E that contributes to healthy IEQ and resource conservation. • Educate the client about non-toxic cleaning and maintenance operations. The Texas chapter will be hosting our second workshop in Austin,Texas, during the first quarter of 2015. Don't miss this valuable opportunity!

An IP’s View of
Metrocon 2014 By Luis Araujo, ASID Industry Partner Rep Attention all Industry Partners, Metrocon 2014 was another huge success. I still remember my first Metrocon almost 8 years ago and we decked out two both spaces and installed a mini showroom of our product with a beautiful entry way. This was just before the recession hit and everyone was swarming around the booths absorbing all that was new and beautiful. As we all know, the Great Recession hit us all hard and many could not afford to keep their doors open. During these challenging years, Industry Partners had to work twice as hard for less business and invest in staying at the forefront of customers was a priority. As many were getting laid off and businesses were disappearing from both sides of the design community, trade shows have always been a good way to stay in front of your customer. We always opted to stay close to our design community and Metrocon was an accessible tool that did not blow our budget. The beauty of this show is that it is local and it attracts many designers from all over Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and other areas that may come as a surprise. The success formula for this show has been offering quality product/exhibitors while designers catch up with all of their accreditations necessary before the due date. I have done many shows throughout my years all over the U.S., Mexico and Europe and I strongly believe Metrocon is a hidden gem. I love the fact that it lasts 48 hours, the
cost for exhibiting is very reasonable, and the quality of customers cannot be over looked. Every year that I have exhibited I always keep count of people walking into our booth and every year the count goes up and the amount of interest can not be compared to what one may spend on an ad in a magazine. The big pay back is that this show feels like an old high school reunion where one gets to catch up with old friends and make new ones in the process. It never ceases to amaze me to hear the disgruntled exhibitor who complains about how bad the show is or how there is not enough traffic….Seriously? This floors me and then I ask myself why? It’s simple….maybe these sales reps should be out on the streets a bit more throughout the year so that by the time they are exhibiting there is already a base of familiar faces and then you add some. Sales is a game of numbers and if you want to expand your presence it’s as simple as getting involved with your design community in many ways. I must say that I will typically get a couple of sales off of Metrocon a few months after the show. That alone pays for my booth and more. This year I was more than pleased to have sold two rugs on site during the show. I call that “SWEET”! So for all of you IP’s out there who attend and enjoy Metrocon, keep up the good work and keep smiling and energizing the show. For those who are still not sold, try a new angle and maybe its time to reinvent your presence. Lastly, for those who are still thinking about it, I suggest you mark this show on your calendar and get ready to sign up quickly the minute registration opens. It seems each year this show sells out faster and is no stranger now to waiting lists. Metrocon…..its always a joy to be a part of this show and I look forward to many more successful shows or “reunions” with old friends and new!

Membership and its four BIG letters
By Adrian Galvan, Allied ASID Hi there! I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you, the esteemed Texas Community of Interior Designers and design professionals! My name is Adrian Galvan, Allied ASID and I’m honored and privileged to serve as your Statewide Membership Director.
allied, professional, or student, those credentials will take you further than you ever dreamed of! Those four big letters are what you’ve earned, what you strive to maintain, and what sets you apart! Our organization has done so many campaigns to get brand recognition to other trade organizations and to the general public, and I’m happy to say; it’s working!
As a longstanding member of ASID, I’m proud to say that I’ve served in various roles at the local level, though this will be my first time on the state board. I have some big shoes to fill as previous membership directors have done an amazing job, and I will strive to uphold the prestige of this position.
ASID is an organization like no other, where members are passionate about their profession, and take their career seriously and continue to grow. In a unique industry that is constantly evolving, it’s of superb importance to be aligned with an organization that has your best interest in mind.
Acting as the principal of my own firm; Designology, The Lifestyle Design Company, I know how difficult it is to work as an entrepreneur in this fun and creative world.
As you can imagine, there has been lots of work “behind the scenes” to get started this month. Communication with several universities and coordination with student chapters has been the core of getting setup for success.
Having served in other roles and capacities in other organizations, I know and value the importance of membership, constantly bringing value to the table, and maximizing the benefits for your membership. As I had hoped, the title of this article got your attention, and if it did, here are the four BIG letters I was referring to; A S I D! I’m of course referring to your appellation! Those four big letters after your name that make up your title! Whether your membership category is
As your membership director it is my hope that I can facilitate the growth of our chapter and maintain the strong and large membership that we have! So be proud of those four BIG letters you’ve earned. Shout it from the rooftops and let people know what it is, and what it stands for! I’m extremely proud to be a member of ASID, and hope you are too!

METROCON14 Expo & Conference ASID’s Strong Presence Instrumental in the Show’s Success By Isin King, Allied ASID, METROCON14 Chair If you were not at Dallas Market Hall on August 14 & 15, then you missed an amazing opportunity to establish business relationships with, learn from, and network with 2,500+ interior designers, architects, facility managers, interior design students, and other essential design industry members from all over Texas, Oklahoma, and 25 other states across the USA! In post-show media coverage about the event, Bob Beck, Publisher of officeinsight, the “voice of those who create workplace design & furnishings,” praised METROCON as a “worthwhile event” and regarded the show’s 12th year as a “stunning success.” Not surprisingly, the 2014 Committee and I whole-heartedly agree.
Over 2,500 members of the interior design industry attended METROCON14.
#2: ASID leads collaboration with those working to promote the value of interior design. For the first time ever at METROCON, ASID held Student Career Exchange, its national program offered annually at NeoCon and NeoCon East. This esteemed collaborative event took place on Friday, August 15 from 1:00pm-2:30pm and featured student portfolio and resume reviews, as well as one-onone discussions with companies who hire and/or work with interior designers. Tiffany Neumann, ASID’s Associate of Education and Engagement, and Sarita Williams, ASID’s Coordinator of Education and Engagement, along with Texas Chapter members Dianne Etheredge, ASID, RID, Corey Davey, Allied ASID, and Laura McDonald Stewart, ASID, RID, helped coordinate the participation of the following members from the Texas Chapter and beyond.
ASID’s Associate of Education and Engagement, Tiffany Neumann, and ASID CEO Randy Fiser welcome students to ASID’s Student Career Exchange.
ASID Proved Itself to be the Core of the Design Network ASID volunteers and headquarters staff contributed greatly to the success of METROCON14, which marks the 10th anniversary of the ASID Texas Chapter’s involvement. ASID designed its activities to align with the three Core Values & Strategic Guideposts that support ASID’s Why Statement – i.e., ASID advances the profession and communicates the impact of interior design to enhance the human experience – all of which are detailed in ASID’s Strategic Plan. [To learn more about ASID’s Strategic Plan, download a copy by visiting the About ASID page of asid.org.]
#1: ASID prepares its members to excel in a dynamic and evolving profession competing in a global marketplace. On Friday, August 15 from 10:30am-11:30am, ASID CEO Randy Fiser presented ASID's Industry Outlook, which he debuted at NeoCon in June. With its analysis of the economic impact of interior design on the economy and a review of the trends affecting the practice and business of interior design, this in-depth dive into ASID-compiled research is helping to guide business decisions, influence practice, and advance careers. In a second article related to METROCON14, officeinsight’s Beck reported that Fiser’s “presentation was an excellent high-level overview of the state of the industry in the context of the current economic climate.” [To download an Executive Summary of the Interior Design 2014 Outlook and State of the Industry for free or to purchase the full report ($50 for members / $85 for non-members), visit the Knowledge Center of asid.org.]

Hastings Tile & Bath
Introduces New Vanity Collection New Collection Brings Color Back To Bathrooms
Hastings Tile & Bath, the importers and distributors of European contemporary bath products is unveiling a new vanity collection that brings vibrant color back into the bathroom. Named Made, the collection of vanities is available in more than 50 colors and dozens of finishes. “We are calling this the year of color,” says Bob Gifford, director of bath products for Hastings. “This collection offers excellent design flexibility with such luscious colors that we predict a huge shift from the neutrals we had been seeing.” Sleek and stylish, the new Made vanity series from Hastings Tile + Bath defines design flexibility. With 51 finish options for cabinets and countertops, the total number of design configurations numbers more than 200. The countertops are available in multiple configurations including solid surface in 5 colors or wood and glass tops (either clear or frosted glass which are also available in the various color options). The cabinets are offered in matte and gloss white plus gloss or matte lacquered oak. All the cabinets have push-toopen drawers and optional towel rail handles are available. Meticulously constructed, the thick top and sides converge at mitred corners, joined seamlessly with aluminum trim to inhibit warping. Inner cabinet LED lighting is also an option as well as coordinating mirrors which of course are also available in the finish colors. The cabinet drawers can be configured in numerous ways with available compartment container accessories. To complete the coordinating look there are tall open storage cabinets as well. Hastings is clearly saying that color is back! Hastings Tile & Bath will be unveiling additional basin and vanity collections over the next few weeks. About Hastings Tile & Bath Since 1885 Hastings Tile & Bath has been at the forefront of design; providing architectural products to the building industry, beginning with pavers for large-scale installations such as the walkways that surround New York City’s Central Park. In the 1970s, the company began importing tile and bath products from Italy for the high-end home furnishings industry. Today, Hastings products are distributed in more than 150 Bath and Tile showrooms across the country, including their own fashionable showrooms in the Architects & Designers Building in New York and in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart. Known for providing a full range of innovative and functional products to architects and designers, Hastings Tile & Bath continues its long tradition of sourcing the best tile and plumbing products from Europe. Their collections have included some of the finest names in the industry; Fornasetti, Philippe Starck, Andrée Putnam, Gio Ponti, and they are the exclusive importer and distributor of the Arne Jacobsen designed, multiple award-winning Vola line in the United States. They introduced the Chelsea bathtub and coordinating sinks in 2008 and in 2010 they expanded the collection with the addition of their own Chelsea H125 faucet line. They continue to source and work with artisans from around the world to bring the best in contemporary bath products to North America. Visit Hastings Tile & Bath at www.hastingstilebath.com

STUDENT NEWS
GO PRO 2014
By Sarah Marek, ASID Texas Emerging Professionals Chair One of the great programs that ASID has for Emerging Professionals is the GO PRO Conference, featuring outstanding presentations on PROfessional Development, PROcess, PRO Bono, PROduct, and PROject. I was fortunate to attend the conference for the second time this year and once again learned even more than I expected (and had a great time, of course)! It was awesome to meet emerging professionals from all over the country, all with diverse backgrounds but one uniting passion.

we’re new, learn more:
The speakers were great! For example, Aga Artka and Jenny Schrank shared their career journeys and wisdom they picked up along the way, but what was most impressive was how clearly they genuinely cared about the professional development of everyone in the room. When the Make It Right Foundation spoke about the impact pro bono design work can make on individuals, neighborhoods, and larger communities, there was not a dry eye in the place. The girl next to me was ready to quit her job and go work for the foundation! My personal favorite presentation was part of the tour we took of Sandow Media Headquarters. Sandow publishes Interior Design and Luxe Magazines. They also run Material ConneXion, a global materials consultancy with the world's most complete and thorough library of advanced, innovative and sustainable materials and processes. We had a special opportunity to tour the library, which included fascinating materials like translucent concrete and eel leather! Our tour concluded with an address from Dr. Andrew Dent, VP of Library & Materials Research who enthralled us with stories and images of new technology beyond what most of us could even imagine, like shoes knitted as one piece and a house made by 3D printing! It is amazing how quickly technology is moving and inspiring to think about the innovative possibilities for emerging professionals. I highly recommend the conference for all EPs! If you are an emerging professional who would like to get more involved with ASID at any level, you can reach me at sarahm@cosentino.com

Student Represenative to the Board’s By Becky Burrus, Allied ASID
Report
“For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning." T.S. Elliot As one leadership year comes to a close and another begins, I look forward to the opportunity that coincides with transition. Transitions can be a challenge, as I have found out first hand in the past four months since graduation and the start of my career after school. But I have also learned that with challenges come progress and great rewards. Gracie and I have had an amazing year as Student Representatives to the Board, and have both been fortunate enough to move into new leadership roles that will allow us to further impact students. I will be the Student Activities Chair for the Texas Chapter and Gracie is joining the Dallas Design Community’s Leadership. We have seen Zan, our Student Representative to the Board successor, grow into an amazing student leader who will bring this chapter to new levels in the year ahead. We had the opportunity to meet so many student leaders at chapter training and they have inspired us with new resolve to make this a year of tremendous growth and success for ASID Texas. Thank you to all who gave their time and efforts last year and to those who continue their service in the coming year. We look forward to serving the ASID members, especially the students, who represent so much promise for our chapter and our industry. Thank you.
Student Leadership By Zan Farrow, ASID Student Representative to the Board
In the months leading up to my term as Student Representative to the Board, I have had the opportunity to get to know many student chapter leaders from across the state. It has been an honor to assist them in connecting with professionals in our industry, something I know I will enjoy throughout the year. I would like to take this opportunity to spotlight a student who I believe has gone above and beyond for their student chapter. Vanessa McBride, ASID Student Chapter President at Texas State University, has exemplified what it means to be a student leader through active involvement, coordination, and enthusiasm. Originally from Lubbock, Vanessa moved to San Marcos after the market crash in 2008 to pursue her passion for interior design. Under Vanessa’s leadership, the Texas State student chapter has grown to almost 80 members I anticipate they will have the largest student group (once again) at this year’s Student Symposium. At the beginning of the year, Vanessa and her
20 | FALL 2014 | TEXAS CHAPTER
student leaders put on a membership drive where they invited Adrian Galvan and Ron Smith to assist in recruitment. The meeting was a huge success and brought in about 100 students. In the Spring, the Texas State chapter will be holding their annual renovation project, Bobcat Build, where they help redesign a home from for a family in need. Last year, they teamed up with the Construction Student Association on campus. This allowed them to take their one day project to a two-week build where they were able to replace floors, windows, walls, paint, and tile. Vanessa is excited for this year’s project and anticipates another successful renovation. I have enjoyed seeing this chapter grow through involvement and membership over the last few months and I look forward to seeing what they have planned for the 2014-2015 school year. A chapter this size requires a strong community leader and I know that with Vanessa the chapter is in good hands.
