Induction into the College of Fellows honors a Member's achievements and contributions to the profession and the Association. It is the highest and most prestigious honor IIDA bestows.
The College is composed of Members who have demonstrated outstanding and exemplary professionalism and leadership. IIDA Fellows assist in furthering the future of design by serving as mentors to aspiring designers, helping to implement educational programs, serving on committees, and being involved in other important initiatives that reflect positively on the interior design profession, as well as the Association.
The College of Fellows application process is held annually and is conducted by the Chair of the College together with a jury of selected Members of the College.
The 2012 Fellows Evaluation Team consists of Peggy Noakes, FIIDA, Chair of the College of Fellows, Kelly Bauer, FIIDA, Pam Light, FIIDA and John Mack, IIDA.
Only Professional Members in good standing, and who have been a Member of the Association for a minimum of five consecutive years, may apply for Fellowship. Only Professional Members may make nominations and Professional Members may nominate themselves.

Peggy Noakes, FIIDA, AAHID, LEED AP, EDAC, was appointed as the 2011 - 2013 Chair of the IIDA College of Fellows. Ms. Noakes currently works for WHR Architects, Inc. in Houston and is a past member of the International Board of Directors.
I am a thinker and a doer who has consistently demonstrated leadership and commitment to promoting the value of interior design as well as IIDA as the Association of choice for the profession. I also clearly understand how to translate my problem-solving skill set into motivating others to work collaboratively and hopefully, help the College of Fellows develop a “Purpose” so that they, as a group, can share their knowledge, their experiences and their expertise to benefit the profession.
