Continuing Education Committee

Coming soon

Education Committee

This committee strives to ensure communication amongst educators, educational institutions, employers of professional interior designers, and other jurisdictions in order to share current information about minimum educational requirements of IDIBC as the provincial regulatory body for the profession of interior design. Our overarching goal is to inform students of minimum educational requirements enabling them to become employable graduates for the profession of interior design in British Columbia. An annual ‘educators’ forum’ is held typically in the Fall, intended to augment other forms of ongoing communication.

Legal Committee

Concerns within the construction industry, such as changes to the building code, building permit processes and the Builders Lien Act affect the profession of Interior Design from a legal standpoint. This group ensures that Interior Designers remain on a level playing field with other professionals in the industry.

Member Events Committee

This committee is involved in planning all the events for IDIBC membership and its sponsors. It is a fun committee made up of designers and sponsors that works together to select themes, locations, menus and decor. Member Events meets on a regular basis to ensure all the aspects of the party are organized.

Membership Committee

Where would the IDIBC be without members? Attracting new members and processing applications are the prime focus of this committee.
