CEUs for Design Dialogue entitled “Change Makers”, Sep 30th, 2011 approved!

New Mexico Design professionals attending the seventh annual Design Santa Fe 2011 event can earn continuing education credits for attendance at the Design Dialogue held Friday morning, September 30. The New Mexico Interior Design Board has approved .2 CEUs for the event, with certificates available after the program for those who have pre-registered to receive them.

Open to both design professionals and the general public, Design Santa Fe 2011 embraces the theme “Change Makers,” which explores the role of design not only as an aesthetic imperative in our homes and workplaces but also as a force for social change. The panel discussion is moderated by Susan S. Szenasy, editor-in-chief of Metropolis magazine. Also participating are award-winning architect Cameron Sinclair, cofounder of Architecture for Humanity, and Susan Lyons, a noted textile designer specializing in sustainable technologies and materials. The three-hour discussion will be followed by a catered luncheon.

MISSION:
Design Santa Fe is produced each year by Santa Fe Interior Designers Present (SFIDP), a not-for-profit group of New Mexico licensed designers, design professionals, small business owners, and design students.
We have four goals:
