Every year before he or she leaves office, the current ASID Texas Chapter President singles out members who have provided extra support and have gone above and beyond for the chapter. Adrian Galvan, ASID Allied, the 2024-2025 ASID Texas Chapter President, has chosen to bestow each of the following members with a President’s Award for the 2024-2025 leadership year:

MICHELLE SOWERS, ASID Educator

Future Visionary Award

Michelle deserves to be recognized for so many reasons, including her dedication to the industry, her sparkling and generous spirit, and most of all her dedication to her students. She’s an educator for interior design at the high school level in Duncanville and is no doubt playing a huge role in shaping the designers of the future.

KARLA URBINA, ASID Affiliate

Enduring Commitment Award

Karla also deserves to be recognized for myriad reasons, but mainly because she has served on the Texas Chapter Board for three consecutive years and does an outstanding job in her role. She is active in the Austin Design Community and is always happy to lend a helping hand. The chapter is very lucky to have had her on the Board of Directors for so long

KATHRYN NELSON, ASID

Sponsorship Champion Award

Kathryn has gone above and beyond in so many ways that have left a big impact on our chapter, our industry partners, our affiliate members, and our sponsors. She has a special gift of building and nurturing relationships and is always happy to support. Most of all, she offers mentorship and serves as an incredible sounding board for all chapter leaders.
