Los Angeles City Center’s Emerging Leaders Program 2023
In alignment with IIDA’s mission to advance the commercial interior design profession through connecting and cultivating relationships and knowledge, the Southern California chapter continues the Emerging Leaders Program. This will be our 3rd year of the program in Los Angeles, and we are excited to continue the program with new topics and industry leaders.
This year the Emerging Leaders (EL) program will consist of 15 emerging designers in the Los Angeles region accepted through a firm leader/principal nomination process. The goal of the program is to provide specific, intensive workshops geared towards emerging design leaders who are growing from “doing” tasks to “leading” in their firms and the industry.
The program is an 11-month curriculum with workshops being taught by experts focusing on a new topic each month. Workshops will focus on building skills such as relationship building, presentation, and business operations.
