The IIDA Rocky Mountain Chapter is a community of interior design champions dedicated to advancing the industry through advocacy, cultivation, & celebration.
Interior Design laws assist in establishing and maintaining 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, provides accountability, increases the quality of client services and choices and encourages excellence in the Interior Design industry.

To advocate for better legislation, diversity in interior design, improved access to excellent design, and sustainable practices.

To cultivate design leaders through education, accreditation, business development, design thinking, and important conversations.

To celebrate the design professionals and projects that bring about design excellence.
