Board Members.

 The GAIDP Board includes an Executive Board and Directors charged with overseeing and coordinating the activities of the Alliance, as well as representatives from a wide variety of professional affiliation organizations such as ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), IIDA (International Interior Design Association), NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association) and other key industry organizations. Collectively, these representatives serve as liaisons to their respective organizations to alert their counterparts to any potential need to rally collective and collaborative response by way of support or opposition to any potential legislative threats or initiatives.
