September has always felt like a new beginning — a time to return to our businesses, projects, and industry with renewed energy and fresh ideas.

It’s also a reminder of what makes our NKBA Manhattan Chapter so valuable: education, connection, and community. One of my goals as President has been to bring together all corners of our design community. When we get the right people in the same room, we learn from one another, build relationships, and create opportunities.

We have an exciting fall ahead! I look forward to seeing you September 16 at the Smeg showroom for our Sherwin-Williams event, October 8 for EDU DAY, and October 29 for our road trip to Albano Appliance.

EDU DAY will be one of our most important educational events of the year, filled with industry experts, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to connect.

I encourage you to invite a student or emerging professional to join us. Supporting the next generation remains especially important to me. Education, mentorship, and the right relationships early in a career can have an impact that lasts for years.

I look forward to seeing many familiar and hopefully many new faces this fall!

Warmly,

Jeannine Price
President, NKBA Manhattan Chapter
