CIDA Honors the Memory of Jan Bast

CIDA is sad to share the news that long-time volunteer Jan Bast passed away this week. Jan was a CIDA volunteer for seventeen years, during which time she participated in 23 accreditation reviews as a site visitor and/or team chair. Those who had the opportunity to work with Jan valued her dynamic and engaging personality, leadership abilities, and extensive knowledge of the profession and higher education.  

CIDA honors Jan’s memory and commends her outstanding contributions to interior design, which will resonate for years to come.
