IIDA NE YEARBOOK 2018

ADVOCACY
IIDA New England advocates for the legal
recognition, support and protection of the
Interior Design profession. Interior Design
legislation helps establish and maintain
professional standards that protect the health,
safety and welfare of the general public. IIDA
firmly believes that legal recognition, achieved
through licensing, registration, and certification
brings uniformity to the profession, defines
responsibility, and encourages excellence in
the Interior Design industry. Visit the Advocacy
page at www.iidane.org to learn more.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
IIDA New England’s Professional Development
committee focuses on providing a variety
of learning opportunities throughout the
year. From seminars to CEU’s to tours, our
mission is to bring value to designers of all
skill levels. Visit the Profession Development
page at www.iidane.org to learn more
about continuing education opportunities.
