ARIDO’s Committees are recruiting
Have you wanted to take a larger part in impacting ARIDO’s work?
If you’re interested in adding your experience and insight to move the 2023/25 Strategic Plan forward, and be part of our collective advancement of equity, diversity, and inclusion, think about joining one of ARIDO’s committees!
These committees work on advancing ARIDO’s Strategic Plan by providing strategic guidance and insight. They meet virtually each month for 1-2 hours. Each committee is chaired by an ARIDO Board member and supported administratively by an ARIDO Staff member. It’s also a chance to complete professional development credits for volunteering! (1 credit per year, 2 max per cycle)
We need perspectives from everyone! This can be a great way to be connected with other practicing members and fully qualified Interior Designers. ARIDO Students, Interns, Registered and Educator members are all encouraged to join.
And if you’re a Retired member, this is a chance to provide your expertise to the next generation while staying connected to the profession!
We are continuing to invite industry partners to take part in select ARIDO Non-regulatory committees!
Please submit your name and experience to the form below by May 16th.
ARIDO is committed to ensuring these committees reflect under-represented groups such as Black, Indigenous and people of colour, the LGBTQ2S+ and other marginalized individuals currently within and emerging into the interior design profession.
