134 of the 135 candidates were successful in their bid to become a Certified Floral Designer (CFD®) as bestowed by the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD), it was announced by John Kittinger AIFD, CFD, president of the Institute.
The candidates participated in AIFD’s rigorous Professional Floral Designer Evaluation (PFDE) session held June 26, immediately prior to the AIFD National Symposium “Passion” in Las Vegas. Earning a CFD® is the first step of the PFDE; the ultimate goal is to become an Accredited Member of AIFD.
Of the 134 professionals, 90 designers earned their CFD credentials in Las Vegas and 44 designers maintained their CFD credentials. Forty seven designers created artistic designs that were so excellent in presentation that they have been invited to become a member of AIFD and they will be inducted during ceremonies at the 2014 AIFD National Symposium “Transition Transformation” in Chicago, July 3-7.
