The Educational Foundation of the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA EF) has announced its 2023 Board of Trustees selected to oversee and administer more than $30,000 in annual design-related scholarships and grants. IFDA is the voice of the furnishings and design industry and arguably the most diverse organization of its kind with membership that includes designers, media and marketers.

Karen Dzendolet of the New England Chapter will serve as the IFDA-EF Chair for 2023. She believes in intuitive, client-focused design, collaborating with and valuing her clients' lifestyles and goals. After a career in corporate IT, managing products and projects for operating system software, Karen decided on a career change, and received her Master of Arts in Interior Design in 2006 from the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. She started her design business, KDZ Designs in 2009, in Western Massachusetts, focusing primarily on residential design consulting.
