Advocacy Committee
The IIDA NE Advocacy Committee is committed to advancing the profession of Interior Design through leadership, education and action. The reach of the Advocacy Committee is beyond pushing the legislation to recognize our profession within the state of Massachusetts and greater New England. The team is focused on bringing together all of the peers within our industry to understand more clearly what Interior Designers do in order to create a broad network of support and accountability. Additionally, the Committee works with other Committees within IIDA NE to expand the reach of our profession to young students and professionals who may join us in our exciting field.
The Advocacy Committee is looking for a few motivated individuals to join the team to contribute to a variety of tasks all focused around the advancement of the Interior Design Profession. Responsibilities may include building a database of constituent support for our legislation, working with the Student Affairs Committee to educate K-12 students about our industry, building a network of allies within the industry to support our profession, as well as other legislative endeavors that come up as our bills make their way through the MA House and Senate.
