Chosen for their well-informed, broad perspective, a diverse group of nominated thought leaders will join the Board of Directors at CIDA’s Future Vision session in November 2014. Hosted by Steelcase, the goal of Future Vision is to describe factors that will have the greatest influence on interior design in order to establish educational priorities for entry-level practitioners in 2017 and beyond.”
