“The ISPC was a great event to have for the A&D Representative community – to remind us how to navigate this difficult boundary between the rep and designer. It was confirmed to me in this course that it’s all about timing and persistence. Building trust and partnership in the design community. It is a great course for new A&D Representatives and companies to invest in. Teaching the basics of relationship building between the rep and designer.” – Katrina Ozerkevich, Architecture and Design Specification Representative, Julian Tile
