ADVOCACY

Washington

Interior Design regulation at the state level 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 registration and certification, brings uniformity to the profession, defines responsibility of an interior designer, and encourages excellence in the Interior Design industry. The IIDA Northern Pacific Chapter Advocacy Committee is dedicated to enacting interior design legislation in the States of Alaska, Idaho, and Washington State.
