NKBA Board Opportunities

Kitchen and Bath designing is a very exciting and rewarding profession and being on the Board of NKBA gives you a wonderful opportunity to mingle and network with the best kitchen designers and Industry professionals in the Valley. Due to attrition we have two positions on the Board that will be available after Dec 31, 2008: Chapter Representative and VP Professional Development.

Feel free to contact me or anyone on the Board for further information regarding these opportunities.

Tips and Techniques – New Column

One of the most fascinating things about kitchen design is that no matter how organized you are there is always something that would have made the process easier or faster. Starting this Fall we will be devoting a section on this website to capture those “AAha” moments of insight on the jobsite. This is a chance for members to help one another out and with your contributions this section can be a very lively addition. Please send in your tips or techniques so we can get this rolling.

The Arizona Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association held the first annual luncheon to honor its Certified members Saturday, April 26th at Sam’s Café located at the Biltmore Fashion Park. Everyone in attendance received an appreciation gift. In addition, Melanie Kelly, CKD, CBD, was the lucky recipient of the Viking blender, donated by SunWest. Thank you SunWest.

We’d like to also extend a thank you to Noble Distributors and BSH Home Appliances Corporation for sponsoring this event.
