Introduction
The Policy and Procedures Manual of the Interior Design Educator’s Council (IDEC) is a working document that reflects the mission and core values and facilitates the vision of IDEC, describe the activities of the organization, and support the organization’s bylaws.
The purpose of the IDEC Policies and Procedures are to provide governing guidance to the Board of Directors and to serve as a resource for the members who are actively engaged in the organization or who wish to be.
It is the responsibility of every IDEC member in a position of leadership to be knowledgeable of the contents to ensure the smooth operations of IDEC Boards, collaboratives, committees, networks, and any other group and to serve the membership effectively.
These policies were approved in April of 2019 and will be reviewed on an annual basis.
