With chapters across the United States and with our virtual chapter, IDS membership can make a direct impact on your business the moment you join. IDS members who belong to a chapter have resources at their fingertips. Fellow chapter members are an excellent networking source, and meetings are the ideal place to connect with IDS industry partners.
For those just starting out, such as our IDS Student or Recent Graduate members, local chapter meetings provide an opportunity to network with established designers. The networking at local chapter meetings opens new doors and provides great learning experiences for both new and established designers.
IDS Local Chapters provide more than networking; they provide members with opportunities to showcase their talents and give back to their communities. Many chapters organize fundraisers for local and national causes. IDS chapters go on educational trips, participate in design showhouses and provide mentoring programs for students new to the field.
