Under Development - The CID Pages!
As announced last month, we are creating an interactive tool for CID’s to market themselves on our Web site.  The CID Pages will help you display your work to hundreds of California consumers (and others) who are searching for interior design professionals.

To review a SAMPLE and receive more details (no obligation),
please send us an e-mail with your name and CID#   If you sent us your information last month, no need to respond again. We will send you the sample via e-mail.

We still need a few CID and Student Volunteers for the CCIDC Booth
CID's helping with our Western Interiors Design+Home Show booth on
September 8-10, 2006 will get the opportunity to hand out their  business cards to the general public and potential clients who visit our booth. 

Interior design students who volunteer will get a free one-time registration to take the CCRE at anytime, a value worth $100.00. Students must attend for a full day.

Please e-mail your interest right away to the CCIDC office. We will cover minimal out-of-pocket expenses for students such as parking and meals inside the show.
