4 | VOL III 2014 | MARYLAND CHAPTER

Dear Fellow Members;

This is my final presidential letter, as my term will be officially complete at the end ofthis month. I trust I will see you all at our Annual Chapter Awards Gala on September24th, for the official passing of the gavel to our incoming president, Lisa Bagbey Tullaiand the introduction of your new incoming board members. The highlight of theevening of course, will be the announcement of our 2014 Design Award winners. Allindications are that this year’s event, with its Masquerade Ball theme at the HistoricSavage Mill setting, promises to surpass even last year’s fabulously successful InnerHarbor Dinner Cruise. It will be a wonderful evening as we honor those who have served us this past year, recognizeour deserving award winners and welcome Lisa and her leadership vision for the upcoming year.

Serving you the last two years has been a whirlwind of events and exciting encounters with Society members acrossthe country and industry professionals of every stripe. It has truly been an honor to serve you and privilege to workwith so many distinguished professionals. Every board member and countless volunteers have worked very hard tofulfill our strategic objectives in pursuit of providing member driven educational and networking opportunities,improving chapter communications and recruiting and maintaining our membership. We were so very fortunate tohave continued outstanding support from so many of our member Industry Partners. They have proven time and againto be such reliable partners, enabling us to deliver a wide variety of Lunch & Learn CEU programs; in addition tosponsorship of major events including the Spring & Fall Home & Garden Show, Student Career Day, NeoCon, TradeSecrets Design Resources and of course our Annual Awards Dinner.

Hopefully you have taken advantage of actually reading at least some of the communications that you regularly receivefrom ASID HQ via e-blasts, ICON Magazine, etc. Even the occasional reader will note that significant changes havebeen underway within the Society over the last year or so, commonly referred to as ASID 2.0. These changes go farbeyond just the recent physical move of the Society offices. As Randy Fiser, ASID Executive VP/CEO has explained,“ASID 2.0 is intended to advance the Society’s organizational goals in a comprehensive and meaningful way. Theseinitiatives are intended to be integrated into everything ASID does as an organization going forward; including educa-tional offerings, research initiatives and policy work”. This new and exciting plan has a singular focus to better commu-nicate the role ASID will continue to play in demonstrating the impact of interior design and the benefits ofworking with our members. This strategy and plan has been presented to Chapter Boards at national leadershipevents and will be integrated into local chapter activities over time. Thankfully, one of the most visible changes willbe the integrated development of the national and chapter websites. I encourage all of you to provide input and feed-back as these changes are implement.

As I reflect on the past year, I recognize that there has been much accomplished and yet so much more we wish wecould have done. The economy and the industry is making slow but steady progress that has business implicationsfor us all. After all, we are all volunteers but we all need to sustain ourselves both personally and professionally. Isee faces of all of those individuals and companies that have assisted us to deliver quality programs to the member-ship and enabled us to achieve a modest improvement in the chapter’s financial viability. It’s been a learning year anda growing year for the chapter and for me personally. There are many more challenges ahead but I can assure youthat the chapter is in very capable hands. I thank you all, board members and volunteers alike, for your support, hardwork and dedication.

Thank You and Warmest Regards,

Margaret Nelson, Allied ASIDASID Maryland President 2014

The Campaign for Wool

On Thursday, 12th June 2014 Mr. John Ginsburg and his wife, JillDavidson Ginsburg were invited to a reception for Campaignfor Wool at Clarence House. John (President of Floors Etc) and

Jill had the privilege to represent Floors Etc, a leading wool merchant in theBaltimore/Washington area, at the reception.

“The Campaign for Wool is a global endeavour initiated by its patron, HisRoyal Highness The Prince of Wales, in order to raise awareness amongstconsumers about the unique, natural, renewable and biodegradable benefitsoffered by the fibre. Encouraging collaboration between an internationalcommunity of woolgrowers, major fashion designers, retailers, manufac-turers, artisans and interior designers, the Campaign has been instrumentalin educating consumers about the versatility of wool, and reconnecting themwith its myriad uses; From luxurious fine merino knitwear and cloth throughbeautiful hardwearing interior products to fire-retardant insulation for thehome. Since its launch in 2010, The Campaign for Wool has influenced a newdemand for wool on an international scale, and its efforts have seen anoutstanding threefold increase in the price farmers receive for their wool.”– www.campaignforwool.org

Floors Etc was ecstatic to receive an invitation to join the Campaign. Forover 122 years Floors has brought many different products to the Baltimorearea. One product that has not changed too much over those years has

been wool. Clients who have purchased wool rugs when Floors Etc firstopened, as N. Ginsberg and Son, most likely still have that rug today, in greatcondition. For many years, Floors Etc has been one of the leading merchantsof wool flooring in the Baltimore/Washington area, as a leading merchantFloors Etc is honored to give back to the wool industry.

ASID Maryland Educates Visitors DuringLocal Home & Garden Show

By Lisa Bagbey Tullai

Each Spring and Fall, ASID Maryland participates in the MarylandHome & Garden Show at the Timonium Fairgrounds. This past Spring,the Maryland Home & Garden Show’s theme was “Color My World.”

With the help of several Industry Partners and the creative flair of volunteers,the ASID Maryland booth displayed a colorful banner and pictures, two seatingareas with brightly colored floor tiles , and a television monitor with a rollingslide show of pictures provided by ASID Maryland Designers of their work.

While the location and theme of the ASID Maryland booth changes each time,we always offer complimentary 20-minute “Ask a Designer” sessions tovisitors in an effort to provide exposure for our Designers to potential clients,to allow new Designers the hands-on experience of meeting and capturingnew clients, and – most importantly - to educate the public on ASID. Thisyear, we went one step further by handing out flyers to passersby withinformation on ASID, why one should work with an ASID Designer, andproviding the web address to our database of local Designers. The rolling slideshow also provided a visual of the types of projects and capabilities of ourASID Designers, which led to many question/answer sessions.

During the Home & Garden Show, many educational sessions are also offeredto the public. Holly Frye-Atcherson, ASID, lectured on “Why Work with aDesigner” with references to ASID as an additional effort to inform consumers.

Our endeavors to educate the public would not have been successful withoutthe many Designers who donated their time to staff the booth over two consec-utive weekends or the generosity of our Industry Partners who provided furni-ture, a display monitor, and carpet tiles (and helped us set up and break down!)

Thank you to the following Designers for volunteering their time: LaurynMurphy, Lisa Steinhardt, Karen Osborne, Kitt Frome, Holly Frye-Atcherson,Elaine Buderer, Barbara Brown, Debbie McHale, Vanessa Grant, EvelynGorman, Gwen Legg, Jessi Rolko, Wendy Appleby, Norbert Young, and LisaBagbey Tullai.

We are also so appreciative to the following Industry Partners for their dona-tions and support: Floors Etc., Blockhouse Furniture, David Edwards, andGramophone.

A survey that went out to all the volunteers after the event revealed that over100 visitors entered the booth, several Designers obtained viable leads throughthe event either directly or through a referral, and the experience, booththeme, and likelihood of volunteering again in the future was excellent.

The Fall Home & Garden Show is scheduled for October 17 – 19, 2014. We arecurrently seeking Designers to help develop, organize, and staff the ASIDMaryland booth. Please contact Lisa Bagbey Tullai at [email protected] or 410.212.4019 to volunteer.
