NeoCon 2008
 We want to extend a big thank you to everyone who visited us at our booth at NeoCon to pick up their Certificate holder ribbon, talk with our representatives or just say hello!
Our booth and seminars were a great success. Thank you to our seminar hosts (and monograph authors) Jane Rohde and Deborah Long for their presentations (Ethical Decision-Making for Designers by Deborah Long and Designs for Senior Living by Jane Rohde). If you missed them or want to learn more about these authors and their monograph work with NCIDQ, contact us at 202-721-0220.
We hope to see you at our upcoming booths at IIDEX and NeoCon East this fall. Watch for more information on these shows in upcoming newsletters. |
Industry News
LEED Survey - Your help needed
The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) is conducting a survey to gather input on the work performed by individuals in the Green Building industry. Interior designers contribute to the Green Building movement, and participating in this survey will help GBCI develop an assessment system that reflects the entire industry's opinions. The results of the study will be used to update test specifications for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professionals (LEED AP) credentialing system.
The survey is anonymous and is not conducted by NCIDQ, however we encourage all NCIDQ Certificate holders to participate. Your responses are very important and will help raise the bar for the interior design industry and LEED certification.
To access this survey, either click on the following URL or copy the URL into your Web browser:

Please complete the survey by Thursday, July 11, 2008 (8 PM, EDT).
Please e-mail pnjsurvey@prometric.com if you have questions regarding the GBCI survey. |
