IIDA’s Wildfire Relief Efforts: Supporting Our Community
Our hearts go out to all those affected by the recent wildfires in Southern California. We know many of our colleagues and friends in the design community have been deeply impacted, and we stand with you during this difficult time. Together, we will rebuild and heal.
Whether you are in need of support or looking for ways to help, we are here for you.
