PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Understanding the value of continuing education and research has been the mainstay of IIDA since its inception. Educated practitioners make informed, safe, and creative decisions which affect us all.
Educational programs serve as a creative outlet to promote awareness regarding pertinent issues within the practice of Interior Design.
