MESSAGE FROM THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT
Thanksgiving is almost here and we have much to be thankful for as individuals and as a chapter. We appreciate the support of so many. From our fellow students who give up their ever dwindling pool of time to attend events to David Matlock, Arc_ID Program Manager who not only secured a PA system for us to use at Mix It Up but also worked up a sweat setting up the PA system. There are so many people to thank for making our 4th Annual Mix It Up! a success.
We want to thank our Mix It Up! contributors, especially, Humanscale. John Harrington did not hesitate when asked to donate a World chair. This is Humanscale’s third consecutive year of donating a chair, which is a major draw to our annual event. In these tough fiscal times, that’s impressive.
Dunn-Edwards Paints made everyone feel like a winner by donating awesome messenger bags filled with fan desks and other goodies. The UCLA Extension Arc_ID program really stepped up to help students by donating two classes this year. Other contributors included Bausman and Company, Hunter Douglas, Dwell magazine, Ford Graphics, Power to Pass (PPI), Italian Living Umbria, Benjamin Moore, 3form, Hennessey & Ingalls, Sidemark and the UCLA student Store.
Of course, Mix It Up would not have happened without our hard working board members: Tricia Clarke, Graphics Chair, Laura Bolton, Treasurer, Joyce Yang, PR Chair, Aileen Ahn, Secretary, Bianca Novarese, VP – Events, Shalina Pickering, Membership Chair and Lyn Pai, Web Administrator.
There are so many examples of support, not just Mix It Up; I cannot list them all. Not only do we want to say thanks but we want to demonstrate our thanks by giving back to others! See how by visiting our web site, http://www.asiduclaextension.com/about_us_giving.html.
Lastly, here are a couple of ASID tidbits that I recently learned by attending ASID LA’s first Student Chapter Leadership Summit. Absolutely any ASID LA event that you see listed in an eblast that you receive from the ASID LA chapter is open to students and that includes CEU seminars. Although students are not eligible for CEU (Continuing Education Units) credits we get to learn the same information being presented to professionals.
We’ve already told you that maintaining your student membership will save you a bundle on Allied Membership dues once you graduate. Did you know that the ASID LA chapter will gift Allied Members with $500 if they pass the NCIDQ exam in one “sitting” upon their first year of exam eligibility? Sounds like a great gift to me! So for all our alumni who are Allied members, scroll down for details on the upcoming STEP workshop to help you pass the NCIDQ.
Chapter President,
Michel Dory
