Suzanne Scott, Ph.D., IDEC, ASID, has been honored with the Keith Hooks Volunteer Excellence Award in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the Council for Interior Design Accreditation.
Suzanne Scott has been involved with CIDA leadership in a variety of capacities for nearly 20 years. Most recently, Suzanne chaired the CIDA Standards Committee, leading the three-year project to revise accreditation standards. In the early 90’s, she served two terms on the (formerly FIDER) Research Committee, conducting significant research about the future of interior design. Suzanne is currently serving her first term as accredited program representative on CIDA’s Accreditation Commission.
CIDA established the Keith Hooks Volunteer Excellence Award as a legacy to former Director Keith Hooks whose 20+ years of volunteer leadership immeasurably impacted thousands of students in CIDA-accredited programs. “Suzanne Scott’s many contributions to CIDA and quality interior design education are substantial and worthy of this highest honor,” states Cary Johnson, CIDA Board Chair. “She has enriched our profession through her engagement and the Board is very pleased to recognize her achievements with this award.”
Over 130 interior design educators and practitioners currently volunteer for CIDA. Only one Keith Hooks Volunteer Excellence Award is presented annually.
The Council for Interior Design Accreditation is an independent, non-profit, accrediting organization responsible for setting standards and evaluating degree granting interior design programs. Learn more at www.accredit-id.org.
