Supporting Registered Interior Designers in Alabama

The Alabama Interior Design Coalition (AIDC) is a not-for-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to supporting legislation that enables the registration of Interior Designers practicing in Alabama. Our membership includes design professionals from firms of all sizes, independent designers, allied industry professionals, interior design faculty, and students.

AIDC serves as a steadfast advocate for Registered Interior Designers in Alabama. Active participation in the political process is essential year-round, ensuring a strong, visible, and vocal presence in Montgomery. Protecting the Practice Act and advancing the profession require continuous engagement, and AIDC remains committed to this vital mission.
