Spring/Summer 2008 - ASID Georgia Chapter

INDESIGN Update. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..GAIDPJanace Harding, ASIDGAIDP recently hosted a "legislative" day at the capital for GeorgiaInterior Design professionals statewide, as an opportunity for all tosee firsthand the importance of monitoring our professional legalstatus of interior designers in the State of Georgia.Attendees from several Interior Design organizations all seemed toagree, the information gained was both timely and relevant to theirown practice. After hearing the speakers, attendee, George TaylorASID, responded by saying "what is absolutely clear is that nobodyshould take this legislation for granted. Our industry practitionersneed to be aware of what may be coming. Somehow, GAIDP needsto deliver this message, not only through ASID & IIDA, but to othersas well – both registered & unregistered."The two topics of discussion concerned current legislative measures;• Contract issues and the law, presented by Kevin Beler,a practicing contract attorney,• And current legislative activities in consideration of obtaining alicense to perform contracting services for both residential andcommercial markets, presented by Mark Woodall, Director ofGovernmental Affairs with the Associated General Contractorsorganization.These current legislative issues can and likely will impact the waymany designers do business in Georgia. We left with a renewedawareness.Sponsors 2007-2008Student/Faculty Kick-OffHerman MillerThe Paint DoctorStudent ChapterPresidents LuncheonThe Paint Doctor2007 GA ChapterAnnual Meetinghome identityArchstoneSmithAtlanta Homes & LifestylesBires RemodelingNationwide Floor & WindowCoveringsThe Paint DoctorChris Little PhotographyThe Arketi Group ADAC2007 Holiday Galaartefacto MultiStoneSpekvacaesarstoneC Lighting Spiffy StuffBertchHaloKohlerADACDaltileHadcoGotcha Covered Teknion LLCMeyers Carpet WoodmodeMohawk CommercialTraditions in Tile and StoneThe Westye GroupDurkan HospitalityThe Arketi GroupAtlanta Homes & Lifestyles2008 ASID StorytellersPierce Martin. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Dornbracht Americas LeontineThe Paint Doctor ADACThe Arketi GroupSimmons BeautyrestBlack MattressTraditions in Tile and StoneFlowers by Mark and ScottAAA World FlooringChris Little Photography2008 ASIDStudent Career DayADAC2008 DesignExcellence AwardsTeknionLee JofaMSB Associates FergusonHolland & Company KorosealHunter Douglas RM CocoVista Window Film KnollWorld of Rugs AmticoInterfaceFLOR WilsonartThe Englishman ADACRegency HouseAmericasMartGotcha CoveredThe Arketi GroupTraditions in Tile and StoneCorporate EnvironmentsChris Little PhotographyMohawk GroupArmstrong CeilingsShaw Contract2008 Vanguard LectureSteelcaseADACDornbracht AmericasTraditions in Tile and StoneHerman Miller25
