Message From The President

Dear Fellow Members,

I hope this message finds you well, and that the new year has brought you optimism and positivity. As we navigate the changes brought about by the pandemic, I am excited about the opportunities for growth and innovation that lie ahead.

Our WA Chapter is poised for a fresh start, and I look forward to building upon the uplifting efforts of our former President, Kathleen Bohlken. The design industry, among others, has demonstrated its ability to pivot and adapt to new circumstances, and I am confident that our chapter will thrive in the months and years to come.

In the meantime, we have a number of exciting events planned for the spring, including CEUs, tours, mixers, and round table peer-groups throughout the Seattle region. We also invite you to join us for an "ASID Red Carpet" welcome at Andonian Rugs on March 22nd at 5:30PM to explore their luxurious products and price points.

Most importantly, we want to ensure that your membership is getting the most value from your affiliation with ASID. We have received several responses to our recent questionnaire and are now putting things in place to better shape the future of our chapter.

Better days are ahead of us, and I am excited to embark on this journey with each and every one of you.

Warm regards,

Rahja Oyake, Allied ASID
President 2022-2023
