Future Vision
In 2020-21, Future Vision was convened to set priorities for the next generation of CIDA's interior design accreditation standards. A diverse array of leaders were brought together for a curated series of discussions to take stock of interior design's unique, enduring value and model how the profession will advance and thrive in the future. CIDA's Future Vision results will be used to strategically evolve accreditation standards to the benefit of the profession’s future graduates and practitioners.
