"Leaders Connecting Locally" The Texas Oklahoma Chapter of the International Interior Design Association hosted the return of the highly coveted Leaders Breakfast Series to Dallas on October 12th, 2011 at The Dallas Museum of Art. The Leaders Breakfast program serves to bridge the gap between the design industry and the business leaders in the region. Over 250 design leaders and business innovators had the opportunity to experience the keynote speaker Neva Hall, Executive Vice President, Neiman Marcus Stores and the honoring of two leaders within the DFW business community who most embody (left–right) Veletta Forsythe Lill of Dallas Arts leadership characteristics through their con- District, Neva Hall of Nieman Marcus, Judy Pesek of Gensler, John Newland of Herman Miller, tributions to the industry.

DALLAS FORT WORTH CITY CENTER Leaders Breakfast Continued….
History of the Leaders Breakfast The IIDA Leaders Breakfast series began as a single event, launched in New York, in 1989 by Jeannie Bochette of Steelcase. The goal was to introduce IIDA to the business world as a leading industry association and to inform IIDA Members about major economic issues affecting them and their clients, as presented by prominent corporate executives, government officials and academic experts. The event established a forum where IIDA Members and their clients could see, hear and network with peers. In 2001, the IIDA Leaders Breakfast expanded into what is now an international program. In 2012, Dallas will once again host the Texas/Oklahoma IIDA Leaders Breakfast event. Please stayed tuned for more details!
Sustainability in action in Dallas Fort Worth! During September and October 2011, the DFW architectural, interior and graphic design community participated in a nationwide award winning upcycling program called ZeroLandfill™ that supports the supply needs of local artists and arts educators while reducing pressure on local landfill capacity. This amazing group of over 50 local volunteers identified and diverted from local landfills over record 34,000 lbs. of expired specification samples that were repurposed to such local organizations including: Dallas ISD, Garland ISD, Plano ISD, Girl Scouts, and local artist teaching groups who continually struggle to provide their students and members inexpensive materials to be creative.

DALLAS FORT WORTH CITY CENTER Panel Discussion and Project Tour – VMG Health On October, 15th, 2011, over 40 IIDA DFW members and guests experienced a project tour of the recently completed interior spaces of VMG Health on the 15th floor of Chateau Plaza in Dallas. The space was designed by Interprise Design, a corporate interior design and space planning firm providing services to the Commercial Real Estate Industry since 1981. And the event was graciously hosted by Teknion and Workplace Solutions.
L-R: Kenneth Reese, Jon O’Sullivan & White Osborn
Prior to the project tour, attendees listened to a panel discussion which included Jon O’Sullivan (Senior Partner at VMG Health), Kenneth Reese (Senior Managing Director at CASE Commercial Real Estate Partners), Paul White Osborn (Creative Director at Interprise). Each panel member provided insight on the special challenges to space planning in a triangular-shaped building, as well as the systems furniture that was involved to maximize the efficiency of an unusually-shaped space.
