Thankful for nights like this! The IIDA NE Board of Directors recently had the privilege of enjoying not only a night of outstanding cuisine but, more significantly, an evening focused on strengthening our bonds and fostering team unity. It was an opportunity for us to connect on a deeper level, share experiences, and grow closer as a team. We are immensely grateful to @chefstyleboston for your mad culinary expertise, storytelling, and facilitation, as well as to @flourishfoundry for providing the perfect setting for such a memorable evening. #iidane #iidaneboardofdirectors #teambuilding #werebettertogether #weareiida

Say a warm welcome to Jessica DeMarco for today’s Student Member Spotlight! Jessica will graduate from Endicott with her Master’s in Interior Architecture in 2026. Jessica’s studio project involved a renovation of a historic barn. Her concept focused on folk-pop music to interconnect and integrate spaces. This, combined with sustainable design, aims to foster an environmentally conscious lifestyle for the occupants. What events/resources would be helpful for IIDA NE to provide in the upcoming year? I think it is great when IIDA hosts local events to attend. I recently went to the Block Party in Boston and it was great to be part of the community and connect with others. If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? Travel! As much as I could do in one day, I would make it happen. I love trekking up north to New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Thank you, Jessica, for being a great IIDA NE Student Member! We look forward to seeing all that you accomplish this upcoming year! #iidane #iidanestudents #iidanestudentengagement #iidanestudentmemberspotlight #getengaged https://lnkd.in/gbHXD4WS
