President's Column

Fasten your seat belts for a fast-paced fall season!

We hope you enjoyed the summer break and are ready to back back into the education groove with our chapter. Up next on September 19 and 20 are two full days of learning available with NKBA partner, the Living In Place Institute, serving up 16 CEUs and a CLIPP certification to enhance your knowledge base and business. The classes will be located at the TOTO showroom in NYC’s Flatiron District, and there are still some seats available. Please contact louie@livinginplace.institute to reserve your space.

Come on over to the Dacor Kitchen Theatre in the A&D Building on the 19th after the class and join us for refreshments at our chapter meeting featuring a CEU discussing luxury clients.

CEDIA Expo is also happening in September, and our industries continue to cross pollinate, sharing information, ideas and best practices for business. We will be reporting from the show floor on social media in regard to technology products and trends that are having a major impact on our business.

Be sure to follow along with @thenkba @dawndelucaondesign, @tonisabstyle and @cediaexpo for reports from the show floor. We also are looking forward to reports from Maison Objet happening this month in Paris. The first NKBA Global Connect Summit will be happening in the UK in early October.

KBIS 2020 registration is now open, and excitement is building! We look forward to seeing you at some events and hope you consider bringing a guest. Guest fees are waived for the fall membership drive. - Toni :)
