NKBA - National Kitchen & Bath Association
The NKBA, as you may know, is the National Kitchen & Bath Association. I've been a member of the NKBA for many years. I also became a Certified Kitchen Designer in 1993.
It's a good thing for a consumer to use an NKBA member firm, or a Certified Kitchen Designer to design his/her kitchen. A CKD must meet requirements for educational points during continuing 2 year periods.
Being a member of an association, generally speaking, means that the member firm is interested in their industry as a whole, going beyond the narrow focus of their business. The NKBA offers many seminars, multi day conferences, and maintains a nation wide chapter organization. There are monthly NBKA chapter meetings which include a presentation on a different topic every month. The NKBA also co-sponsors the enormous KBIS conference each year, to which I travel to every year. It is a good thing for a kitchen designer to be involved in their industry and aware of new philosophies, products, and design information. Now you know a bit more about my national association!

Susan,
Thank you for your dedication and providing information on the NKBA. A past Boardmember alerted me to your blog site after finding you on Google.
How wonderful! Congradulations and best of luck in your venture.
Sincerely,
Michael Kelly, CEO
National Kitchen & Bath Association
Well, thank YOU for providing me with endless educational opportunities in the kitchen and bath world over the years. Whenever I have gone to a conference on any subject whatsoever, given by the NKBA, and I cannot count how many I have gone to, and even if I have been disappointed here and there, I have always received something of value, sometimes huge, sometimes small. But, value, nonetheless. Please join in the conversation, you and your staff are encouraged to comment at will. Thanks for writing!
