Today, IIDA Oregon’s Executive Leadership and some of the Advocacy Committee were at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, meeting with legislators and advocating for the power, expertise, and importance of Commercial Interior Designers. 🏛️
Commercial Interior Designers are highly trained professionals whose work directly impacts the health, safety, accessibility, and experience of the spaces Oregonians use every day. Yet our profession still lacks legal recognition in Oregon.
We’re working hard to change that!
IIDA Oregon is fiercely committed to representing Commercial Interior Designers across our entire state. In 2027, we will introduce legislation establishing legal recognition for the profession and creating a pathway for qualified Commercial Interior Designers to practice independently within their defined scope.
31 states have already enacted legislation recognizing interior designers—and Oregon should be next.
Today’s conversations were another important step toward ensuring our profession is recognized for the expertise, accountability, and value we bring to Oregon’s built environment.
And we need your voice! 📣
Mark your calendars for February 24, 2027 for our next Capitol Day in Salem. More information on that to come, so stay tuned!
Our goal:
100 people.
100 voices.
100 advocates.
Let’s show Oregon what our profession is capable of—and why legal recognition matters.
We’re organized. We’re showing up. We’re ready for 2027. Oregon is next. 💪

A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors who helped make our 2026 Advocacy Golf Scramble happen! We had a great afternoon on the green celebrating the importance of Interior Designers and coming together to support our legislative efforts! With every swing, we could feel the excitement of what’s to come in the months ahead on our journey towards a Practice Act! Without the generosity of our annual sponsors, we couldn’t have had such a fun and successful fundraiser! So, thank you sponsors!

From our sponsor @cambriasurfaces:
Design kudos to the Ankrom Moisan Workplace team for this Charles Schwab Portland office. This sophisticated corporate space showcases Cambria’s premium designs throughout. A technically difficult project, particular attention should be given to the Cambria Berkshire Brass Sculpted curved and fluted reception desk. Striking a perfect balance between high-end elegance and heavy-duty durability, Cambria proves to be an exceptional, elevated choice for high-traffic commercial environments. Cambria is a proud sponsor of IIDA Oregon.
