The 2026 Sponsorship Campaign is now LIVE!

2026 Sponsorship Package - Letter from the vp of sponsorship:

Dear Valued Sponsor,

I want to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude for your support of our local chapter in 2025. Together with your generosity and support, we were able to make incredible progress for the chapter.

Your contributions truly power everything we do. Last year, together, you helped us raise an impressive $217,000, fueling events, initiatives, and programs that advance our mission. For 2026, our goal is to reach $235,000 in sponsorship dollars so that we can continue to expand opportunities and deliver even greater value to the Illinois design community.

New & Enhanced Sponsor Benefits

Thanks to your valuable feedback, we strive to deliver meaningful sponsor benefits while keeping pricing stable year over year. New opportunities include:

• Emerging Leaders in Design: An Illinois Chapter program designed to provide professional development experience to those in the design industry who are interested in pursuing future leadership roles.

• Complimentary IIDA membership for individuals that complete the ELID program in order to further designer involvement, connection and opportunities with the chapter.

• Signature event platform time for Visionary + Platinum Sponsors.

• Host an IIDA IL Chapter Board Meeting, including 15 minutes of dedicated time with the Board (Visionary Sponsors).

• Expanded hosting opportunities across all sponsor levels.

• Discounts on additional event tickets for all sponsor levels.

A&D Firm Sponsorship

Our A&D Firm Sponsorship has been a great success, helping us welcome more firms into the chapter with benefits designed specifically for their needs. This sponsorship supports the growth of our membership and strengthens our profession, which is particularly important as we continue to build on our newly acquired license registration status with the State of Illinois.

As we look ahead, we humbly ask for your continued partnership to make 2026 a year filled with meaningful events, impactful initiatives, and community growth. I look forward to connecting with you personally to discuss the sponsorship package that best fits your goals and budget.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and inspiring 2026,

Sarah Etcheson, Industry IIDA

Chapter Sponsorship

IIDA Illinois strives to create a strong niche for the most talented and visionary Interior Design professionals to elevate the profession to the level it warrants, and to lead the way for the next generation of Interior Design innovators. However, as a not-for-profit membership organization, we can’t do it without the support of our Chapter Sponsors.

Your decision to become a Sponsor will affect every aspect of our Chapter, from the creation of new CEU’s to our day to day operating costs. As a Chapter Sponsor, your company’s Sponsor dollars will be evenly distributed to all Chapter events, where your company will receive recognition for your contribution.
