Election to the College of Fellows is the highest and most prestigious honor bestowed upon a Professional Member by honoring and acknowledging one’s achievements and contributions to the interior design profession and the Association.

The IIDA College of Fellows 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. 

Election to the College of Fellows is conducted annually and the election process is conducted by the Chair of the College together with a jury of selected Members of the College of Fellows.

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 in the Association.  Only Professional Members may make nominations, and a Professional member may nominate oneself.

The dates for applying for the 2011 Fellowship process will be available and posted on this website in early October, 2010.
