We have a full summer ahead of us as we get ready to kick off our 60th Anniversary Chapter celebrations around the country. Kudos to our winning Chapters for coming up with such great ideas and concepts, and we look forward to sharing the images and videos with all of you throughout the year. 

We also have several other key events and programs taking place in the coming months that, if you haven’t already added to your calendar, we ask that you do:  

• July 11. Last day to submit for our Design Competition with $100,000 in cash prizes. We’ve made it easier to submit and, as we shared last month, even did a “How to” webinar to guide you through it. Please enter and share with your Chapter members. 
• July 13. A very special NKBA LIve at 2pm ET featuring CEO Talks with Jill Ehnes, the new president of Delta Faucet Co., who shares her thoughts on leadership, employee retention and innovation. Look for an upcoming email to register to watch. 
• July 25. Our in person Design + Tech Summit in NYC at Samsung837, which focuses on the realities, challenges and strategies of integrating technology into the design process. It’s a packed agenda with limited seating, so if you’re in the area  register here. 
• August 17. We are kicking off our annual Design Trends research with a virtual Bath Summit, sponsored by House of Rohl, focusing on current and future trends in design, technology, materials, products and more. You won’t want to miss this first look at what’s happening in baths over the next 2-3 years, with registration opening in July. 

As a reminder, if you did miss out on some of our more recent events, you can still access them via on demand by clicking these links: Sustainability Summit, Outdoor Kitchen Summit and our very first Showroom Report Reveal. The Independent Showroom Report also includes a ranking of the top showroom locations in the U.S. The number one spot? San Francisco. To access the full listing, go here. 

And don’t forget to enter into our monthly giveaways contest on the special 60th Anniversary landing page here. You have a chance to celebrate NKBA’s 60th, learn about our shared history and win a prize. How’s that for summer fun!

We also want to share our thanks to all of you for your hard work and volunteerism. NKBA is 60 years strong because of you, your support and your advocacy. 

Have a wonderful July 4th holiday.
