New Benefits for Certificate Holders
NCIDQ introduces a public search feature
As a Certificate holder, you know that you have
obtained the highest recognition as a qualified interior designer. We want to
further our mission of public protection by allowing the public to search for qualified active Certificate holders like
you!
This summer we are introducing our best benefit yet, the QSearch. This search feature will allow individuals to search for active Certificate holders in their area!
You will decide which
information you wish to reveal to the public through your MyNCIDQ account. By adding this active Certificate holder search feature, you can
increase your visibility to the public, your current and potential clients,
improve your marketing and earn new business. And best of all, this service
will be free to all active
Certificate holders!
We will provide more information in the coming weeks as we get ready to launch this new feature. To ensure you receive future QSearch notifications you must maintain a valid e-mail address in MyNCIDQ.
Update your Searchable Contact Information
You must update your contact information in MyNCIDQ via the "Update Personal Information" link and select which information you would like visible to the public (limited, full or none).
You may currently have your privacy settings already selected in MyNCIDQ, therefore it is important that you review and/or update your settings to ensure you receive your desired privacy when this new feature is launched.
Log in to MyNCIDQ at www.ncidq.org/myncidq. If you cannot remember your username or password, please click on the "Forgot or need your username and password?" link. If you have trouble recovering your login information, please contact NCIDQ customer support at (202) 721-0220. |
Watch the Mail
 This summer we are undertaking a large project as part of our efforts to "go green." We are updating our online database, MyNCIDQ, to ensure everyone receives our online notifications and newsletters.
To accomplish this large task, we need your help. We are mailing a custom letter, which will contain information relating to your individual MyNCIDQ account. Please watch for this mailing and review the information. If any information is missing or inaccurate, we ask that you log into MyNCIDQ and update this information. NCIDQ cannot be responsible for misdirected or undeliverable mail and e-mail, therefore you must ensure your contact information is accurate at all times.
Please watch for this mailing and notify others to expect this notification in order to help us reach our goal.
