  NEW FACES, NEW BEGINNINGS AND A BOUNCING BABY GIRL

It’s been a wonderfully challenging year at the IID. Madelaine and Fehmida have merrily jumped into deep waters and have been learning to swim. We’ve had a few challenges, found our feet and firmly planted them into the ground. Through this tumultuous time we’ve managed to make some exciting plans for the new year coming and we hope you will join us on this journey.

We will be launching our annual Yearbook next year so get snapping and collating for submission, the future of the Yearbook is to manifest into our Professional Interior Design Awards in 2012/2013.

We will also be launching our bi-annual IID Nemeth Trend Report on Interior Design at the IID WOMAG Party on the 24th of February 2011. So be sure to mark your calendars for that day and join the IID in a party to be remembered!

The IID Regional meetings will start off with a bang at the end of January, so keep your eyes peeled for the invitations. We look forward to getting your feedback.

The IID would like to thank all its members for their continued support as we endeavour to make your membership experience more beneficial and exciting.

We wish you well over the festive season. Happy holidays and a prosperous New Year!
Best wishes,

The IID Team
Madelaine, Fehmida and Bernice
