MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

The designation is more

then something that you earn!

As the New Year approaches, many of us will review our objectives and goals and to this end, REIC is requesting its membership to wave the flag, to become cheerleaders for the Institute.   The rest of the Presidents Holiday Address

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:

2008 - Should be Great!

2007 is rapidly drawing to a close with 2008 about to take centre stage. What will the New Year bring for REIC?  We can only guess, but as always there are the goals that one always wants to conquer. My personal goal is that I really would like the organization to eclipse the 2000 member mark and stay above that well into 2009.        Read the Executive Directors Thoughts

  The Designation Brochure:   

                         Back and Better ThAn Ever

Brochures designed to help members sell their designations

to perspective clients!

A classic sales tool has been given a reconstruction in an attempt to help REIC members improve their business and sell their designation to prospective clients.  The designation brochure has been revamped and retooled to help our members succeed better!

“Basically, what we have done is to give them the equivalent of a facelift,” explains Manager of Marketing and Communications Lee Arbon. “The standard professional look still remains but we’ve added more colour and information that will help make them more appealing to potential clients.”

Staging to the Public

With over 40 years of combined experience between them, it’s not a stretch to call them experts in their field. Yet Linda Hammond and Renee Stead still have the same passion and love for their work today as they did when they first started out in the field.

“Interior Design has always been a passion in our lives that just did not go away.  That passion has made our jobs enjoyable.” Hammond explains.

NEW CRU MAKING NAME FOR HERSELF

& REIC IN CARIBBEAN
 

You may think having a career in the Caribbean would be all fun in the sun- yet it’s not. Just like Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax or Montreal it requires hard work and determination to establish an individual's career.

Jasmine Eddy is one of those individuals.

Eddy was born in the Parish of St. George’s, St. Kitts in March 1971 as the second of three children. She cites her mother as a major influence in her life – staying at home to successfully raise three young children.  View Full Profile
