Fellow status is a professional membership category designed to honor an IDEC member who has made outstanding contributions to the Interior Design Educator’s Council (IDEC). The intent is to recognize an IDEC member who has demonstrated 1) sustained and significant participation in the organization via its many leadership/service opportunities, and 2) ongoing and valuable contributions to interior design education such as the advancement of the body of knowledge, advocacy of interior design and/or education, or the advancement and/or development of any organizations that support interior design education (e.g., CIDA, NCIDQ).
Any professional member of IDEC may nominate a professional member for Fellow Status in IDEC. Click here for more information.
