Dear NKBA Chapter Officers,

It was wonderful to see you all at KBIS during our first-ever NKBA Chapter Officer Leader2Leader and throughout the show in Vegas. 

We’d love to hear your feedback – please click Chapter Officer Survey for an anonymous survey that will help us plan next year’s NKBA | KBIS and Leader2Leader program.

Last week, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of NKBA|KBIS at Dacor Kitchen Theater in Irvine, CA. Our spectacular Southern California Chapter came out in full force, and we loved seeing designer members from our San Diego Chapter, too. 

Special thanks to SoCal Chapter President Joseph DeCasperis for being our panelist and sharing kitchen trends and his best of KBIS. Joseph and Rona Graf of Grace Blu Interior Design provided design insights and inspiration. We also presented a sneak peek at NKBA’s brand new Sustainability Research, released earlier this week here to launch NKBA’s Sustainability Month. 

Speaking of the best of KBIS, we loved being a part of Chicago Mid West’s recent event, Bring KBIS to Chicago! It was wonderful to spend the day with Chicago, as well as Manhattan and Northern California Chapter leaders presenting at the MART as well.

Congratulations to our awesome Arizona Chapter on an incredible 30th Anniversary event in Scottsdale last week! We look forward to seeing and participating in the great things that Arizona – and all of our Chapters – will do in the coming months!

Very Best,

Kelly Buchsbaum
