One FALL can change it ALL!

Join the Northern NJ Chapter as we have a conversation with Maria Stapperfenne, CMKBD CLIPP about how falls change lives.  As designers, pros and influencers in the design and material selections for homes, we owe it to ourselves to become more aware of things that we may have once taken for granted – helping people that are renovating make better, SAFER choices that will prevent falls and enhance their experiences in their own home!
