Click here to read a very important message about the ASID and their draconian methods of controlling business competition for the roughly 3% of all practicing interior designers who fall under their specific job title of “Interior Designer” . Thanks to Joni of Cote de Texas for putting together a fabulous post on this very important issue that will effect the livelihoods of designers such as Kelly Wearstler and me, if enacted nationally.

The ASID employs 3 full-time lobbyists? Methinks they are protecting themselves not the designers.
ASID not only employs 3 full time lobbyists, but has spent somewhere in the ballpark of $6,000,000 trying to pass legislation of this nature that will put thousands of designers out of business.
What’s more, they are funding these legislative pushes with members’ money – a mandatory legislative assessment levied in addition to the dues, whether one agrees with their plan or not.
