Board Member Quotes:

“My involvement on the IIDA Oregon Chapter Board of Directors has allowed me to practice my leadership skills in a safe, collaborative environment with like-minded individuals who speak the same language in Interior Design and who share common goals to see our Chapter succeed. I have been fortunate to use my brain in a different way that I usually do in my design job and foster skills that directly relate to working in the design profession. Overall my experience has allowed me to work with designers and reps from many different firms and in all has been a rewarding networking experience making me feel a part of the larger design community.” – Emma Silverman, IIDA IIDA Oregon 2014-2016 Chapter VP of Membership

“Participating on the IIDA Oregon Chapter Board of Directors has provided me with immense networking opportunities. Allowing me to collaborate with peers in the industry exploring why Interiors Design matters.” – Elizabeth Lockwood, IIDA IIDA Oregon Chapter – Forums Chair, Board Member Since 2011

“Serving in a leadership capacity on the Board of Directors advanced my professional development by providing me with opportunities to explore who I am as a leader and a manager in ways that I had not yet been able to explore in my career. Working to advance Interior Design a alongside a diverse cross section of the design community has presented me with a diverse set of expertise and perspectives that has shaped my growth.” – Sarah Weber, IIDA 2014-2015 IIDA Oregon Chapter – President
