HOME STAGING PROFESSIONALS IMPROVE LIVES THROUGH NON-PROFIT IAHSP FOUNDATION
August 27, 2007: The International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP) Foundation is launching the 3rd annual World Wide Staging Service Week, September 9th - 16th, 2007. The Dallas IAHSP Regional Chapter (DIRC) is "set to stage" Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity's common community areas. Members of DIRC will be transforming the common areas of Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity offices for the benefit of all clients, guests and employees of the organization who visit this facility. A children's area, a reading nook and a warm inviting seating area are just a few of the changes in store. In addition to the community center, DIRC will also "stage to dwell" the home of a recent Habit for Humanity homeowner. This will include ASP staging services as well as providing furnishings and accessories for their home. A cash donation to the Ronald McDonald House is also being made by DIRC.
Members of IAHSP around the US and Canada will come together during this week to help local organizations and individuals in their communities who are in need of Staging services. Places such as nursing homes, schools, women's shelters and individuals in need of selling their homes are potential candidates to be staged.
IAHSP is comprised of 125 local chapters and approximately 2,000 Accredited Staging Professionals (ASPs). IAHSP is the Home Staging Industry's professional association recognized as the voice of home Staging and sets the benchmark for excellence in the hottest trend in real estate. ASPs will volunteer their time, talents and personal resources to work for the betterment of the communities that they serve and transitively enhance the quality of lives through service to others.
