1 2016 IIDA ANNUAL REPORT

innovations that elevate the built environment.

2 DISRUPT. It s not a word that immediately comes to mind when we talk about commercial interior design, but our profession is increasingly about evolution disrupting the status quo with solutions and innovations that elevate the built environment. For designers, the ability to evolve requires a healthy dose of courage, a trust in intuition, and a willingness to push beyond boundaries that once seemed impermeable. As the association for commercial interior design, IIDA actively supports its 15,000+ members in an increasingly complex and multidisciplinary profession with leading-edge tools, programming, publications, and research. Our goal is not only to provide the resources designers need to make a case for design, but also to equip you with the professional community, connections, and knowledge to flourish in this evolving industry. As IIDA ensures our profession is understood, recognized, and lauded, IIDA initiatives give depth and meaning to design s value proposition with research that links great design to impressive outcomes in industries ranging from healthcare to hospitality, workplace to retail; with a common language that provides our designers with a way to communicate the benefits of design; and with a professional community that shares a vision for the future of our industry. IIDA exists to ensure your courage as a designer is supported, cultivated, and commended. This Annual Report offers an opportunity to reflect on last year s growth and successes as we continue to operate as a nimble, fiscally healthy organization committed to advancing and elevating commercial interior design, but it also serves as a reminder that your courage and commitment are serving a greater purpose to positively impact the health and well-being of all people, everywhere. Cheers, Marlene Liriano, FIIDA, ID+C President, International Board of Directors 2016 Cheryl S. Durst, Hon. FIIDA, Executive and CEO

4 WE ARE THE COMMERCIAL INTERIOR DESIGN ASSOCIATION IIDA works for its members as an advocate for design excellence, legislation, leadership, accreditation, education, and community outreach to increase the recognition of interior design as a profession that enhances business value and positively impacts the health and well-being of people s lives every day. Below we ve included a few of our achievements and activities from It s not an exhaustive list, but it does provide a sampling of the priorities and programming the Association will continue to pursue in 2017 and beyond. You can learn more about everything we do at PROVIDING THOUGHT LEADERSHIP Industry Roundtable 19, a facilitated dialogue among interior designers, manufacturers, and clients, held Jan. 8-10, 2016, tackled the topic of diversity in the design profession. The resulting report, Design and Diversity: Why Gender, Equity, and Multidisciplinary Thinking are Essential to Business, offers a deep-dive into the issue with analysis, statistics, and best practices. The inaugural Educators Roundtable, hosted by Milliken from Sept. 29-Oct. 1, brought together design educators and practitioners to discuss interior design education. The report, The State of Interior Design Curriculum, outlines the discussion and provides insight into the strengths and opportunities of design education. ADVOCATING FOR THE INDUSTRY The 2nd annual IIDA Advocacy Symposium, held in Denver, Colorado, Sept , 2016, drew more than 100 attendees. Participants learned how to build relationships with decision-makers, work with stakeholder groups, and promote grassroots involvement, and connected with passionate design advocates from across the country. SUPPORTING THE FUTURE OF INTERIOR DESIGN In 2016, the IIDA Student Mentoring Program expanded to accommodate more than 1,000 students and professionals who were eager to participate in this unique opportunity to make industry connections. A series of inaugural IIDA Student Roundtable discussions were held in Chicago, Atlanta, L.A., and New York in fall Hosted by OFS Brands, design students and practitioners gathered to discuss the preparedness of emerging professionals to take on the ever-changing challenges of the design industry. The report, The Future of the Industry, is available to download on the IIDA website. CELEBRATING THE PROFESSION For more than two decades, IIDA has partnered with Herman Miller to host the IIDA. is an annual international event series that cultivates connections between industry leaders and the local design community while celebrating design innovation. With the support of the International Benefactors Herman Miller and Interior Design magazine, the has grown to include eight host cities across the United States and Canada. PUBLISHING CRITICAL INDUSTRY RESEARCH The Economic Impact of Interior Design report tells a compelling story about the economic and fiscal impact of the industry at the state and national levels. The results provide the hard facts design advocates need when talking to legislators about what interior design is and how it affects their state s economy. IIDA, in collaboration with the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA), also published Design Leveraged, Volume II, which makes the case based on hard data that good design has a meaningful impact on employee satisfaction and a positive effect on a company s bottom line. FACILITATING AN INDUSTRY DIALOGUE IIDA and Mohawk Group hosted Savor, a series of special, salon-type dinners in six cities throughout the U.S., where architects and interior designers spent a stimulating evening away from their devices, enjoyed a great meal, and engaged in some much-needed conversation. Attendees had the opportunity to hear Cheryl Durst impart her broad knowledge about the cultural phenomena taking place today and how it affects the way we design and our lives in general.

8 2016 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Maintaining the financial health of IIDA is particularly critical through times of progress, and over the last several years, our Association has experienced incredible growth and continues to do so. From new programming to increased advocacy efforts to our newly relocated IIDA Headquarters, which will serve our members and the industry as a hub of design activity, IIDA has expanded to increase its presence and better serve the needs of our growing international membership. Growth requires investment. IIDA has made responsible investments in capital costs, membership programs, and advocacy, while increasing liquid assets more than 6 percent over 2015 and maintaining positive operating income and cash flow. Another highlight: Net revenue increased significantly as more commercial interior design professionals from around the world joined IIDA. We invite you to review the charts on the following page, which illustrate how funds were allocated. We will continue to invest in our members professional development; in the business of design as a practice that affects the well-being of all people; and in thought leadership that is elevating the profession and guiding it toward the future. Cheryl S. Durst, Hon. FIIDA, Executive and CEO
