IDSA News

One of the world's leading, custom compounders of plastics—with a 90-plus year history—is the newest IDSA Ambassador.

On April 19, 2016, IDSA Executive Director Daniel Martinage, CAE, and IDSA Board of Directors Chair Emeritus Austen Angell, FIDSA, spoke before a capacity crowd on What’s Trending in Design at the 10th annual United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Design Day. See the IDSA Photo Album.

In 1984, IDSA became a Professional Organization Affiliate of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), the national accrediting agency for art and design and art and design-related disciplines. NASAD is an association of approximately 346 schools of art and design, primarily at the collegiate level, but also including postsecondary non-degree-granting schools for the visual arts disciplines.

IDSA’s membership has spoken. The results of the 2016 election are in, and they show the Board of Directors will have several new members—or members who are changing or continuing in their positions—when the new Board term begins on May 1, 2016.
