Quickly, easily and effectively, consumers will be matched with ASID designers who are specially educated and trained to create interiors that exceed expectations and work within budgetary boundaries," said ASID President H. Don Bowden, FASID, AIA.|ret||ret||tab|

To use the referral service, a consumer simply needs to access the Southern Accents home page and click on the "Designer Referral Service" link located at the bottom of the page. After being automatically directed to the referral service's main page, the user should then click on the http://www.interiors.org/southernaccents/ link. This link will lead the consumer to a short survey that, upon completion, will match him instantly with local ASID interior designers who have the training and expertise to successfully manage their projects, no matter the size or budget. The consumer can then decide to contact any of the designers for consultation.|ret||ret||tab|
