Introduction

Hello everyone,


I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to everyone. I’m Lisa DiOnne and will be the new SRB for 2008-2009 starting in October. I’m very excited about meeting you in Calgary and know it will be a great leadership building activity for us all.


A little background on me:


I attend The Art Institute of Dallas and have been working on my BFA in Interior Design for what seems like forever (I’m sure you’re all familiar with that feeling!) I’m now in my senior year and look forward to what lies ahead. Getting out into the design world will be very challenging but I’m ready for new challenges in life.


Interior Design is a career change for me. I’ve been in the corporate world for quite a few years in the technology sector. I worked my way up through the ranks but I never felt fulfilled with what I was doing. In 2004, I made a decision to change the direction of my career and go into something that I really love, Interior Design.


I am very excited about becoming an active member of ASID. Being the SRB will give me the chance to apply leadership skills I’ve gained in the past and further expand them as well. Leadership, to me, is about providing influence, guidance, and support for those you come in contact with. I’m sure the conference in Calgary will give us skills that we can take back to our respective schools to apply and begin influencing other students.



I look forward to meeting you all in July.



Lisa DiOnne
