For the past 20 years, she has served as a spokesperson for the home furnishings industry and is credited with leading design concepts for the home. Judy George’s many speaking engagements range from motivational talks to presentations within the furniture industry. In addition to speaking engagements, she has made many television and radio appearances including: New England Cable News “CEO Corner”, HGTV’s “The Furniture Show”, Lifetime Television’s “Our Home” and most recently MSNBC’s “Home Page”. ASFD's evening program will also include presentation of the 2005 ASFD David Kline Memorial Scholarship winners by Hafele America Co., co-sponsor of the design contest.
