Welcome to another inspiring year with the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA).
As a premier non-profit trade group, the NKBA champions professionalism and ethical business practices within the vibrant kitchen and bath industry. We are a dynamic community of recognized, talented designers, retailers, remodelers, manufacturers, distributors, fabricators, installers, and a host of other industry professionals all dedicated to crafting spaces you'll adore.
We are passionate about bringing every client’s vision to life! We offer unparalleled expertise in creating beautiful, design-forward functional kitchens, bathrooms, and beyond. We believe in continuous growth and support our members with excellent, specific Badge programs, rigorous Kitchen and Bath Certifications, and educational units for razor-sharp expertise. We also love nurturing the next generation through our local JobShadow Program, offering design students hands-on learning experiences with our chapter designers. It's all about fostering fun, collaborative environments where creativity thrives! As your new Chapter President, I appreciate leading our local creative community. It is exciting to stretch together as we bring new programming each month that our members find so important. This year, I would like to see our chapter continue to focus on wellness and emphasize its significance in kitchen and bath design—prioritizing wellness in our designs not only enhances comfort and safety but also contributes to the overall well-being of those who use these spaces. Building on this foundation, I encourage all of us to explore innovative ways to design for our ever-expanding neurodivergent population, ensuring our spaces are inclusive and supportive for everyone. I am looking forward to an amazing year together! I would like to thank the fabulous leadership I am following and every Council member who has made our chapter so magical.
