WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 18, 2012) | The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) announces Randy W. Fiser as its new executive vice president and chief executive officer. Fiser brings to ASID an extensive background in leading organizational transformation in corporate, not-for-profit, and professional services industries. His innovative leadership expertise includes leading staff, boards, executives, and stakeholders to design strategies, implement programs and measure performance to achieve organizational vision and goals.
