I mentioned in an earlier post that I had been nominated for the WITHIT Education Award that was announced at a stellar event at Las Vegas Market. I am so honored to just be nominated in the company of friends and peers Maria Killiam and Katy Garrett of Design Tech Summit. I never expected to win, but I did! The Education Award recognizes my efforts to educate associates, retailers and consumers about home furnishings. It was a wonderful evening and it is so nice to be recognized by my design peers; especially the rockin’ awesome women of Withit. Girl Power is alive and well in WITHIT. If you are in the design/ home furnishings industry think about joining. It has been so worthwhile for me.
