WORDS FROM THE INTERIM PRESIDENT,
AMANDA J. MEDLEN, RID, IIDA, LEED AP
Wow, where has the year gone?!? As we are nearing the end of 2010, we are gearing up for our annual Sponsorship campaign. Sponsorship is a vital part of our organization, without it we would not be able to host our high quality programs and educational events throughout the year.
This year we have simplified our Sponsorship menu even further. There are five major levels of Sponsorship. Each level clearly lists all of the features and benefits you will receive. If you so desire, you may note which events and/or programs you are especially interested in sponsoring and the specific committees chairs will contact you and help you find the right fit for your Sponsorship dollars.
Our annual sponsorship campaign is the primary funding source for the IIDA Indiana Chapter. Our total sponsorship goal this year is $50,000. Your contribution towards this coal is very important and greatly appreciated. Please consider sponsoring your local IIDA Indiana Chapter today!

DISCOVER, LEARN, CONNECT
by Tom Vriesman, IDC Director of Design Community Relations
The State of Indiana has a brand new design resource right
here in our own backyard: The Indiana Design Center, located in Carmel's Arts
& Design District.
Discover
The IDC is a place of discovery, a place to source the
latest local, regional and national products all in a single location.
Ultimately, over 20 showrooms coupled with 300+ design library resources will
be available to the nearly 2,500 design professionals throughout the
State. Through showrooms, free-standing
kiosks and product binders, specification has never been easier or more
convenient.
Learn
Whether it is a CEU course, a lecture by a design luminaire,
or being inspired by design trends from around the world, the IDC is the place
to stay current. Design lectures, new product introductions and business
development seminars are just a few of the events being planned to continually
inspire the design community.
Connect
The IDC is a physical and virtual hub connecting design
professionals with each other and with the public through online portfolios,
industry calendars, and links to trade organization websites. The IDC is the
place to be seen. Connecting with
potential clients is facilitated through a Designer-on-Call program that pairs
public walk-in traffic with member designers enrolled in this offering.
To discover more about the Indiana Design Center, check out
the blog at http://IndianaDesignBlog.com and new website launching this fall http://IndianaDesignCenter.com.

The IIDA Indiana Chapter has been working closely with the local ASID Chapter to bring the STEP Workshop to Indianapolis this year.

In order to confirm that this workshop will take place, we need 10 participants by the end of hte RSVP date of Janurary 7th.
The IIDA Indiana Chapter Board has decided to help designers interested in this workshop by offering partial scholarships. Please attend the IIDA Holiday Party to enter to win a scholarship to help pay for the workshop! Any further questions can be directed to the Director of Associate Members, Nicki Hellem email: nhellem@cripe.biz
The American Society of Interior Designers has long recognized the key role that the NCIDQ examination plays in design practitioners' career plans. Passage of this rigorous test signifies the hallmark of professionalism in the interior design community, and alerts the public to the expertise and experience of the designer who has met this challenge. To that end, ASID created the STEP program to provide a broad perspective of the issues and information pertinent to the NCIDQ exam.
IMPORTANT DATES Registration Deadline January 7, 2011
Workshop Dates
January 21-23,2011
NCIDQ Examination April 1-2, 2011
Registration Ready to Register
ASID Members: $325 Nonmembers: $445
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The STEP workshop is periodically conducted nationwide and is comprised of 20 hours of instruction over a 2 1/2-day period. Participants have the opportunity to experience practice exams patterned after the newest NCIDQ and, with the guidance of experienced instructors, determine which areas require further preparation. Workshop participants are provided with comprehensive workbooks that includes practicum exercises and online multiple-choice exams similar to those in the NCIDQ exam. These practice tests are administered and throughly reviewed during the workshop.
Seek qualification. We'll help. It's your profession.
