IIDA EXCELLENCE IN ADVOCACY AWARD

June 12, 2016

ON JUNE 12, 2016, THE IIDA PA/NJ/DE CHAPTER WAS AWARDED THE WINNER OF THE IIDA HEADQUARTER'S CHAPTER AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN CHAPTER ADVOCACY & GRA ACTIVITIES

“This award recognizes a chapter that has exhibited excellence in chapter advocacy and GRA activities by working to promote the Interior Design profession, including the transformative effect of interior design on clients’ businesses; its positive impact on public health, safety, and welfare; and its significant economic contribution in your cities and states.”

I DID. Campaign

The “I DID.” Campaign was founded in 2015 after 100% of the Pennsylvania-residing IIDA PA/NJ/DE Chapter Board Members contacted their local state legislators in support of SB1021. Just as IIDA Headquarters has positioned themselves as a key leader in advocacy efforts across the country, we believed that each individual Chapter should also visibly position themselves in support, starting with the Board of Directors who lead them.

What started out as a simple positioning statement grew into an individual-focused, relatable, and first of it’s kind advocacy campaign that is supported by the same grassroots ideals that are found at the very core of our Pennsylvania interior design legislative coalition, IDLCPA.

First published in October 2015, the “I DID.” campaign is available to all interior designers, industry partners, family, friends, clients, and all those who support interior design legislation. It creates opportunities to share their individual testimonies, stories, and unique qualifications that support why they contacted their legislators and request that they #SupportSB1021. These are then published separate from the unanimous voice of the industry and thus relating back to the humanistic side of advocacy and the interior design profession.
