The Southwest Chapter of the International Interior Design Association consists of Arizona, New Mexico, and Las Vegas. With over 350 members of all levels, the Southwest Chapter continues to strive to further strengthen our existing City Centers and develop a new City Center in Albuquerque.
Our chapter hosts many networking opportunities for professionals as well as student members. These opportunities include Continuing Education events, forums, Habitat for Humanity Build Day and Fundraiser, Design Excellence Awards (P.R.I.D.E.), and Un-Veiled (formerly Trade Fair). By participating and attending these events our members are developing and strengthening our local core of professionals in the Interior Design Industry.
