CIDQ Advocacy Resources
CIDQ takes our responsibility to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public very seriously. That is why CIDQ is a proud advocate for reasonable interior design regulation in the United States and Canada. Reasonable regulation of the interior design industry is important and necessary to protect the public in the built environment, and ensures that only competent and qualified designers can work independently in code-regulated spaces.
Joint Statement of
Support for Regulation
Originally founded in 1972, ICOR is currently made up of the Council for Interior Design Qualification (CIDQ), Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB), National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) and National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). For over 50 years, the Interorganizational Council on Regulation (ICOR) has worked to share best practices and advocate on behalf of the important work performed by the licensing boards that regulate the professions of architecture, engineering, interior design, landscape architecture, and surveying.
