Michael Alin, Hon. FASID, executive director of ASID, will retire on Oct. 1, 2011, after more than 20 years with the Society. Alin announced his decision at the ASID Board of Directors meeting in January. Alin joined ASID in late 1990 as deputy executive director and took on the responsibility of shepherding the Society’s strategic planning and managing membership operations. He became executive director in May of 1998.”It has been an absolutely fabulous run for me,” Alin commented. “I have been privileged to work with some great and visionary volunteer leaders, who always looked ahead to where the interior design profession and ASID needed to go. The Society’s leadership can take pride in its contributions to the growing success of the profession and to its accepted place among other professions in the built environment.”
Prepared annually as part of the Society’s strategic planning process, this report looks at large-scale trends and developments in the spheres of economics, politics, society, technology and the environment; as well as within the A&D sectors of the building industry, that are shaping the interior design industry.
