Women in Design Chapters
Welcoming spaces for professional networking, allyship, and gender equity.
Women in Design Chapters
IDSA’s Women in Design Chapters foster positive gender equity within the design profession and create welcoming spaces for women, women-identifying individuals, and allies in local communities to network, connect, and learn from one another. Chapters provide a platform to support women designers, offering professional networking, programming, events, resources, mentorship, and allyship. Chapters are aligned closely with IDSA’s Women in Design Committee.
Women in Design Chapters operate similarly to and independently of IDSA’s Professional Chapters. IDSA’s network currently includes three Women in Design Chapters across the United States.
