Donate for Advocacy!

Hello IIDA SW Chapter Professionals and Industry Partners,

I am pleased to introduce myself, the new VP of Advocacy for the IIDA Southwest Chapter. Alongside our Director of Advocacy, we are excited to partner with the IIDA SW UnVeiled tradeshow on November 12, 2025 to help advocate for the interior design profession through an exciting raffle.

The IIDA Southwest Chapter of the International Interior Design Association consists of over 300 members in Arizona, New Mexico, and Las Vegas. While Nevada and New Mexico have varying degrees of Legislative Rights, Arizona, our largest member base, remains without legislation or permitting privileges.

IIDA advocates for advancements in education, design excellence, legislation, leadership, accreditation, and community outreach to increase the value and understanding of Interior Design as a profession that enhances business value and positively impacts the health and well-being of people’s lives every day.

To make such a change, it requires public awareness, time and financial investment. One of the ways you can demonstrate your commitment to supporting local designers and investing in the future of our profession is to support our raffle! It provides an opportunity for attendees to win exciting prizes generously donated by you!

We would love your support! Raffle Ideas:

• A Product – chair, lamp, rug, etc.

• Gift Certificates/ Gift Basket

• Design Services

• Tickets to events

• Personal Art work or purchase Art from Jill Brey Memorial

• Anything to enhance the silent auction experience

We are looking for a commitment to support our raffle, by October 19, 2025.

If you have any suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

You will have the option to deliver to the winner in-person after the event or have them take their item, at the end of the tradeshow.

If you would like to be part of the IIDA SW Advocacy Committee reach out at iidasw.advocacy@gmail.com for more information.
