New London, N.C. —
Christine Evans, longtime executive director of the American Society of Furniture Designers, is retiring.
Evans had headed the organization since 1997. Under her leadership, ASFD has added members and increased participation in the annual ASFD Pinnacle Awards, honoring outstanding design in the home furnishings industry.
Taking over for Evans is Jane Matteson, an industry consultant who has been active in the industry for 15 years in design, merchandising and marketing. ASFD headquarters will move from New London, where Evans lived, to Greensboro, N.C., where Matteson lives.
Steve Hodges, ASFD vice president and president elect, said Evans "has made a great contribution in making the society more visible and viable in our industry."
