Lovely historic neighborhoods and amenity-rich master-planned communities offer an array of housing options and the arts are emphasized. Football fans can't enough of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars.

SPECIAL SECTION
ASID Florida North Chapter is pleased, once again, to partner with Florida Home Media to bring you the annual ASID Membership Directory & Buyers Guide for the Florida North Chapter.
Perhaps one story best sums up why so many ASID members feel fulfilled and rewarded by their work. It's told by Glenda Wann, ASID, of Glenda Wann Interiors in Jacksonville, a 30-year veteran of the business.
The American Society of Interior Designers, the oldest and largest professional organization for interior designers, was founded in 1975.
When thinking about commercial interior design, images of offices and hotels may come to mind. However, professional designers are also involved with schools, churches, healthcare facilities, clinics, restaurants, retail stores and even random projects such as the occasional private plane or yacht.
Each year, as part of an ongoing effort to encourage, inspire and train future leaders in the field of interior design, ASID Florida North members contribute many hours of time and service to local schools and colleges with interior design programs.
