As a new member to the Board, my goals are straightforward - to support the functions and decisions of this Chapter, to increase interest and engagement from the Interior Design student population within Wisconsin, and to support the role and mission of the Interior Design profession. This can be achieved by personal outreach to our colleges, and to place emphasis on the importance and impact our design decisions have on our homes, local communities, and buildings

If selected as a chapter leader, what key goals would you set, and how do you believe they would be achieved?
As Membership Director I would like to build up the number of new members we have as an organization by starting at the college level and bring new and interesting presentations and events to more seasoned members.
1. Getting college students and recent graduates more engaged. I would like to accomplish this by visiting the colleges in person, being available at Career Day/Neocon, and by making Real World Design Week better attended. I hope to be an approachable resource for students by giving students my contact information to reach out as needed.
2. Presenting new and interesting CEU's to members to help maintain interest in ASID. I would like to co-host CEU's with our sponsors to bring in new CEU's to the Wisconsin Area.
I'm hoping to implement some new programs or concepts to our members, it is important to change things up from year to year to maintain interest. I would also like to find a way to keep our members outside of Milwaukee and Madison engaged.
