Washington, D.C. (August 17, 2018) – The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is pleased to announce and welcome Sherwin-Williams back as an ASID Premier Partner. The Society is thrilled to have the support of Sherwin-Williams as it showcases the impact of design on the human experience and celebrates the value interior designers provide.

As a leader and innovator in the coatings industry, consumers and designers count on Sherwin-Williams expertise through every step of the design process – from vision to execution – and rely on the company’s local service and expert advice to provide the perfect paint options for every project. Sherwin-Williams supports designers by offering free Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for ASID chapters on topics such as the latest high-performance coatings, color trends and forecasts, the role of color in culture, and much more.

“Sherwin-Williams is proud to continue our partnership with ASID and provide support to this distinguished community,” said Archie Bartel, director of marketing, Sherwin-Williams. “We are always looking to champion interior designers, and continue to support them with tools and resources to make their visions a reality.”

ASID Premier Partners strive for the highest level of alignment and integration with the ASID design community and enjoy the largest presence across the spectrum of ASID national platforms. ASID Premier Partners pursue goals in thought leadership, education, and research, and support key ASID strategic initiatives and industry drivers.

“ASID is an organization that thrives through the commitment and generous support of our partners,” said ASID CEO Randy Fiser, Hon. FASID. “The Society is thrilled that Sherwin-Williams is an ASID Premier Partner and looks forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship for many years to come.”

As part of its ASID Premier Partnership, Sherwin-Williams will provide support for several ASID events in 2018, including The Leadership Experience: Presented by ASID, and SCALE – The ASID National Student Summit.
