MN Chapter | November Edition

ANNOUNCEMENTS

ASID MN Volunteer Spotlight


The ASID MN Board has voted for Volunteer Spotlight recipients who have raised the level of service and made a significant impact in our chapter! We recognize how challenging it can be to find the time to volunteer and want to acknowledge individuals for their outstanding contributions to our organization.


Click here get involved on a committee yourself!

Jennifer Ball of Jennifer Ball Interiors and Marco Garcia, Sales Associate at Tapis Décor are truly deserving recipients of the Volunteer Spotlight. Jennifer has been involved in the Sample Sale committee for 10+ years and Marco for 5. Jennifer has served as a committee co-chair for over 5 years, and together, the two, along with the guidance of Crista Bartholomew, have co-chaired the committee for the last 3 years. 


The Sample Sale is one of the largest fundraisers for the chapter, and not only provides funds that support the local membership, but also, promotes a valuable connection between our designers and showroom partners with the general public. Year after year, Jennifer and Marco have put in countless hours planning and managing all aspects of this event including promotion, showroom and volunteer recruitment, logistics, financial oversight and more. The Board is grateful for all they have done to make this event grow and improve every year since it first started. 2022 Sample Sale was no exception and a great success thanks to their efforts.


As with many of our dedicated volunteers, these two are examples of members stepping up to offer their time and talents to help make ASID MN a strong and vibrant chapter. Jennifer also currently serves on the Industry Partner committee, and Marco has been an active member of the Student / Emerging Professionals committee since graduating. We are fortunate that they have taken such active roles in the chapter and greatly appreciate their commitment to ASID MN. Congrats and thank you to Jennifer and Marco!

What does it take for a design to be truly sustainable?


Jargon and buzzwords can make the whole concept hard to understand.


Join us as we learn about Net Zero design and construction. Architect, Marc Sloot, of SALA Architects will share his knowledge about this exciting topic.


This program will explore the similarities and differences of two homes recently completed in the Twin Cities area. Both are achieving Net Zero Energy and Holistic Green Certification at a high level without compromising beauty or the comfort and health of the homeowners. One home is new with a modern aesthetic and the other a remodel of a 1907 Victorian. 


Attend to learn more about the way our future homes will be built. It will be fun and informative!
