Grace Jordan Howard Foundation

Grace Jordan Howard served as Georgia Chapter Administrator for the American Society of Interior Designers for 18 years before losing her battle to ovarian cancer on March 15, 2013. The Grace Jordan Howard Foundation was established in her loving memory.

Grace joined the Georgia Chapter as Administrator in 1994. Her soft-spoken strength, humble demeanor, wise counsel and patience made her a cherished advisor to all who passed through ASID’s doors. In 2009, Grace was recognized at the ASID National Convention for her outstanding work as an Administrator. Two years later, “Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles” magazine featured her as one of the “Most Influential People in the Atlanta Design Community”.

“Grace shared with me the LOVE she had for not only good design and ASID, but for the PEOPLE in ASID”.
