In February 2025, The NKBA Arizona Team attended the 2025 Leader 2 Leader Conference in Las Vegas Nevada in preparation for KBIS 2025. At the close of the training, NKBA National Awarded the NKBA Ariozna Chapter the Chapter Star Award and named our event the Best Overall Event out of 70 chapters and 24 submitted events. 

The NKBA Arizona Chapter marked a significant milestone in March 2024, celebrating its 30th anniversary with an unforgettable evening at Sub Zero Wolf in Scottsdale. This special event brought together members, industry professionals, and supporters to honor three decades of kitchen and bath design excellence, community growth, and the bright future ahead.

The night was filled with energy, elegance, and appreciation as attendees reflected on the chapter’s journey and its impact on the design industry. A heartfelt toast was offered by NKBA Senior Manager of Chapter Relations, Alan Dove, alongside Senior Vice President of Marketing, Pamela McNally, commemorating not only the achievements of the past but also the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

Guests enjoyed live music from Jonathan Sherrill that set the perfect ambiance for networking and celebration, while a series of thrilling raffles kept the excitement high. A standout moment of the night was the much-anticipated balloon pop, which awarded lucky winners with free entries into our prestigious design competition—an opportunity to showcase their talent and innovation.

The evening’s success would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Sub Zero Wolf, Preimum Wholesale Cabinets, Central Arizona Supply, and Cosentino. Their contributions helped create an atmosphere of sophistication and celebration, making this milestone event truly remarkable.

As we look ahead to the future of the NKBA Arizona Chapter, we remain committed to fostering growth, education, and innovation in the industry. This 30th anniversary celebration was more than just a party—it was a tribute to our past, a celebration of our present, and an inspiring glimpse into what’s to come.
