President's Message

Everything old is new again. Bell bottoms are back, vinyl floors are all the rage, my grandmother’s sofa is now   “mid-century modern” and a two- time past president is President again.

Welcome all to ASID Orange County 2026!

We are living in crazy times with lots of uncertainty. All organizations are finding ways to adjust and adapt while finding ways to stay relevant to their members. And we are no different.

In the spirit of supporting our members your dedicated board is working to give all our members the value they desire and deserve.   To that end we will be offering more monthly meetings at no charge. We are designing special events that will open our minds with experiences and inspiration. And we will bring interesting CEU’s to help fulfill our requirements.

But working and planning will not mean anything if we don’t have your support. In the next few days, you will be receiving a survey in your email. We would love to have your feedback and input on your expectations from ASID, and how we can better serve you. We’d love to hear your thoughts for programs and events we can create that would excite you. Be as creative as you like-----we want your ideas!

And if you really want to support your chapter-----VOLUNTEER! Help us get these events created. You can contact me or any of our board members and we’ll make sure your talents are well utilized.

On behalf of your new board, we look forward to hearing from you and seeing you all at our next meeting where we will formally introduce ourselves to you.

In the mean- time, stick with us and let’s have some fun this year!!

Adriel Cogdal, ASID
