ASID Member Mark Member Use The Member mark may not be altered in any way and must be used in accordance with the Society’s graphic standards. All reproduction of the Member mark must be made from art files provided by ASID to the member. • The Member mark may be used only when the name and appellation of the member are present and clearly related to the mark. Specifically, use of the ASID Member mark will be restricted to the following placements: • On the member’s personal business card • On the member’s business letterhead, provided that the member’s name and • appellation appear on the letterhead • On the member’s Web site where the member’s name and appellation appear, • e.g., on an About Us or Contact Us page
ASID Member Mark The Member mark may not be used in the name or logo of a company or collectively for a company, organization or group of individuals, even if more than one of the individuals has permission to use the mark. The mark should not be placed in such proximity to a company name or logo that it could be construed as referring to the company rather than the individual member. The ASID Member mark may only be used on business-related documents and materials for businesses offering interior design and related services, as noted above. It may not be used on personal stationery, personal e-mail messages, etc., or on materials for any other type of business. The ASID Member mark cannot be used in any commercial publication or advertising, including listings, such as referral services, the Yellow Pages or online directories. The ASID Member mark cannot be used for any personal or special projects. Events sponsored by a Chapter should display the chapter logo. ASID members may not use the Member mark to imply ASID endorsement of an organization, event, product or service. All Professional Members are eligible to use the Member mark.
STEP Workshops Fall 2009 STEP Workshop Information: The National Council for Interior Design Qualification, Inc. (NCIDQ) announced in December 2008 that the NCIDQ Examination will be modified for Spring 2010. These modifications are necessary to ensure that the examination continues to test the knowledge and skills interior designers use in the course of their daily practice. The structure of the NCIDQ Examination will continue to include two half-day multiple-choice sections and a full-day drawing practicum. These changes are very in-depth and result in a major overhaul of the content/curriculum for STEP workshops. As a result, we will not be holding any workshops in October or November 2009 while the materials are being updated. Workshops will resume on December 4th, 2009. We will begin posting workshops for Winter 2009/2010 on a rolling basis as they are scheduled. For more information on the STEP program please contact ASID at stepinfo@asid.org.

Ethics and Appellation Misuse • Ethic violations are no longer handled on a chapter level. Direct ethic issues to chris.salp@asid.org Director of Government and Public Affairs. • Appellation misuse can be addressed by our Chapter • Procedures: • Confirm membership status in the database • Send a friendly letter or make a phone call. If sending a letter, coy the President. (sample letters are included in your binder) • Send second letter if misuse continues – keep good notes and documentation • It is not acceptable for a member to continue using cards or letterhead until their stock is depleted. They must discontinue immediately. • It misuse continues, send all documentation to GPA department • If it continues, it will go to legal counsel and the member may loose their membership in ASID
Appellation Misuse – Common Mistakes • Dropped membership and continue to use appellation • Omission of the word “member” EX: Jane Doe, Allied Member ASID • Business use: Incorrect: ASID Design Services, ASID Designers To advertise with a business, each ASID members should be identified with their appellation
