Allsteel’s Jan Johnson Named Chair-Elect of CIDA
Jan Johnson, Vice President of Design and Workplace Resources at Allsteel, has been named Chair-elect of the Board of Directors of the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). Johnson will assume her one-year term as Chair on January 1, 2019, when the current incumbent, Collin Burry, Design Director and Principal at Gensler (San Francisco), steps down.
Established in 1970, CIDA is an independent, non-profit, accrediting organization responsible for setting standards and evaluating degree-granting interior design programs internationally. Collaboration between CIDA and the profession is integral to its mission, and it maintains close relationships with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC), Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) and the Council for Interior Design Qualification (CIDQ). One board member is drawn from each of these five collaborating organizations, with Chair-elect Johnson representing industry.
With both an interior design degree and MBA, Johnson has focused throughout her career on strengthening the correlation between business strategies and the workplace. She leads Allsteel’s Workplace Advisory team in the development and delivery of content and tools that support clients and design organizations in the planning, design and management of work environments. Prior to joining Allsteel, Johnson worked as an interior designer and strategic planner for her own firm and Perkins + Will, and as a workplace consultant for HOK/Consulting.
