The American Residential Design Awards (ARDA) spotlights the most creative and innovative residential designers, builders, remodelers, architects, developers, land planners, and interior designers in the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
ARDA is an awards program, not a design competition<\/strong>. Entries are not grouped in square footage or project value classifications, and judging is conducted by a panel of residential design and construction experts based on the quality of the entry.<\/p>\n

All residential industry professionals are eligible <\/strong>to enter individual or collaborative projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Sign up for the next Coffee With Bernie<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
\n
A monthly “fishbow<\/a>l” open space discussion<\/a> hosted by AIBD President Bernie Kern on the second Friday.<\/div>\n
This month’s quest and opening topic
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Writing blogs to market your business.
\n(In case you didn\u2019t know, a blog is short for weblog)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Join us this month with an all-star cast of guests. AIBD\u2019s External Vice President and Editor of the AIBD Magazine Yu-Ngok Lo, AIBD College of Fellows and author of the new You-Inspired Living blogs Jennifer Pippin, AIBD Communications Director and our personal Social Media Guru Garrett Mickley, and AIBD Member and Staff Professional Technical Writer at VMware Bonnie Kern (Yes, my wife!), will be joining us this month for an informal roundtable discussion on how to write blogs and market your business easily.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How does it work?
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Bernie will have nine seats open in his “fishbowl” (i.e., Session). There’s only one rule – one seat must always stay open. This is so anyone attending may join the discussion when they feel they have something to contribute or get. Everyone will also be able to network and chat.<\/p>\n

A fishbowl<\/strong> conversation is a form of dialog that can be used when discussing topics within large groups. The advantage of the fishbowl is that it allows the entire group to participate in a conversation. Any member of the audience can, at any time, occupy the empty chair and join the session. When this happens, an existing fishbowl member must voluntarily leave the fishbowl and free a chair. The discussion continues with participants frequently entering and leaving the fishbowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
