Governance
Who runs IIDA
The office bearers, committee members, advisers and state chapter presidents who hold office in the association — named, with the city each of them works from.
How the association is organised
52 people hold office in IIDA
IIDA is directed by a national body of office bearers, supported by an Executive Committee drawn from across the country, guided by an Advisory Board, and represented in the states by chapter presidents. Everyone listed on this page serves the association in addition to running their own practice.
We publish the roster in full because an association that asks designers to pay a membership fee should be willing to say exactly who is running it. Several office bearers also lead their home state chapter; where that is the case, both roles are shown rather than the person being listed twice.
Office bearers do not take correspondence directly. Anything addressed to a named person should go through the association office, which will pass it on.
