IIDA Oregon Advocacy Roadshow

A statewide initiative to engage the design community in conversations about the future of interior design legislation in Oregon.

Hosted & Sponsored by PeopleSpace

The IIDA Oregon Chapter Advocacy Roadshow is a statewide initiative designed to engage the Interior Design community in meaningful conversations about the future of Interior Design legislation in Oregon.

As we prepare for the next legislative cycle, our chapter is meeting directly with design firms, industry partners, and allied professionals to provide education, answer questions, and gather feedback from those working at the forefront of Oregon’s built environment.

Interior designers play a critical role in shaping safe, healthy, and functional spaces — contributing directly to the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Yet in Oregon, the profession remains unrecognized within the state’s regulatory framework.

This Roadshow aims to build a shared understanding of where things stand today and where our community may go next.
