NEWH New England – 2013 – YEAR ONE !  And what a year it has been.  Exactly a year ago in late December 2014, four design professionals came together with one goal in mind-  to bring the  New England chapter of NEWH back to the vibrant chapter we felt confident it could be once again.

Proudly after just one year, we have not only achieved all of our goals, we have exceeded them.  A total of 6 very successful events have taken place with attendance typically in the 85- 125 very enthusiastic design professionals convening to meet, network and learn more about each other.

Starting in January NEWH NE hosted its first event at the new Cinque Cento  restaurant in South Boston.  Sponsors for this event were Samuelson Furniture and Frame My TV.  Not knowing what to expect we were thrilled with a turnout of nearly 95 people.  Everyone was eager to get this chapter back on track and build it.  Committees were formed and the chapter was off and running.

March brought about a very exciting event at another new restaurant in Boston’s Seaport area: The Empire restaurant.  115  design professionals  met and mingled while learning a little bit more about the two sponsors that night: Artaic  and LeGrande.

Getting into the Cinco de Mayo theme in early May, NEWH NE hosted  a fun filled evening at Yale Appliance in Dorchester, MA.  Mexican food and drinks were served in Yale’s demonstration kitchens while a scavenger hunt for specific products entertained the crowd of nearly 60 design professionals.  Prizes were given to the winning teams and sponsors for this event were Yale Appliance, LeGrand, and Hubbington Forge.

One Monday evening in September a crowd of about 115  Hospitality professionals  set sail for a sunset cruise in Boston harbor.  The sponsors for this exciting evening were Fabric Innovations, LeGrand, Hubbington Forge, Mark David and Samuelson Furniture.

The new showroom for Kohler in Natick was the scene for the October event.  The theme was Octoberfest with Beer tasting and delectable tasty treats, all sponsored by Kohler.   Designers and vendors gathered to learn a bit more about this plumbing giant and prizes were given out at the end of the evening.

The year culminated with a festive holiday event bringing the entire group together one more time to celebrate the support and enthusiasm of all our sponsors.   The Copley Plaza in Boston was the setting and once again our generous sponsors enabled the chapter to host a very elegant evening all a glitter in holiday décor.   A total of 135 members and non-members attended.  The sponsors were: Aspire Hospitality, Brintons, Fabric Innovations, Gasser Chair, Hubbington Forge, Kohler, Legrand,JLF, Masland, Samuelson Furniture, Doug Sneed and Assoc. and Valley Forge Textiles.

A year ago, at the first steering meeting in December 2012 we established a goal  to sign up 100 members in New England, and that number was  not only reached  the night of the holiday event  it was surpassed with a total of 101.

Another goal established at that first meeting was to build a scholarship fund for students in the hospitality design field.  Once again NEWH NE achieved their plan and now has a scholarship fund of over $ 12,000 and two manufacturer funded scholarships .  These scholarships will be  distributed in  the fall of 2014.  Applications will be forthcoming.

2014 promises to continue on the same path, with 6 events on the boards so far.  Stay tuned to the calendar so as not to miss any of these fun filled networking gatherings.

Thank you to all our sponsors who make these events possible.  And a round of applause to all the members and non members who continue to support us and gather with their great interest in building this chapter.

Thank you for a great 2013 and we can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store!

Warmest regards,
Your New England Steering Committee
