The 2025 IIDA SoCal Annual Board Meeting

On July 19th, the IIDA Southern California Chapter Board of Directors gathered at Ware Malcomb’s Orange County office for the Annual Board Meeting, an inspiring day of celebrating successes, and charting new paths forward. See more photos here.

The morning’s open session offered an opportunity to share highlights from the past year, celebrating the impact of our teams across the Chapter. We heard from Sarah Devine, now serving as our Chapter Past President, who recognized the Board for their contributions and leadership throughout her term.

The afternoon’s closed session marked the beginning of a new chapter, led by our new President, Robert Norwood. Robert facilitated a series of workshops with the new Board, energizing the team for the upcoming term. With the addition of Sonaly Dudheker as President Elect, our leadership team is well-positioned for a dynamic and productive year ahead.

We want to thank the following people who completed their Board term and who have graciously volunteered their time and supported the Chapter this past year:

Kelly Capp, IIDA, The Switzer Group
Caroline Feran, IIDA, Gensler
Gabrielle Mote, IIDA, NCIDQ, LEED AP, ASD SKY
