*Backed by the latest science, the Climate Clock tells us what we must do, by when. The Deadline and Lifelines on the Climate Clock make explicit the speed and scope of action that political leaders must take in order to limit the worst climate impacts. - The Clock’s Deadline tells us that, at current rates of greenhouse gas emissions, we have less than eight years left in our global “carbon budget” that gives two-thirds chance of staying under the critical threshold of 1.5°C of global warming*

On June 30th, IIDA HQ honored us with a chapter award for the Virtual BRAGG Awards Gala we had last year!
This is what they had to say about us:
“IIDA South Florida didn’t let a global pandemic stand in the way of honoring colleagues and members at their annual BRAGG gala. Utilizing a professional production company, the chapter filmed presentations in showrooms across their chapter, commercials for membership, and a live portion for member participation. The chapter auctioned off free tickets, pulled together swag bags, and provided 25 firms with a catered meal and bottle of wine thanking them for their continued support.
They streamlined the submissions process, and had more engagement than ever from student members—with doubled entries from students, the chapter was able to double the scholarships they awarded. Sponsorships were provided commercial time, product spotlights, and the opportunity to present awards.
By taking their gala virtual, IIDA South Florida embodied their theme, “Design is resilient and bold,” and were able to celebrate design excellence virtually while engaging members and sponsors.”
Big shout out to everyone who made this event possible, and a big THANK YOU to IIDA HQ for the award!
