WELL Executive: Up close with Cheryl Durst
An IWBI Webcast Series, sponsored by Daikin
“Design makes us most human.” In her own words, Cheryl Durst lives by this mantra: as a visionary who understands that the soul of a space is found in the story of the person. As the Executive Vice President and CEO of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Cheryl leads a cohort of 15,000 members across 85 countries with a focus on creating community, advancing advocacy and driving change in design. Beyond accolades and the strategic leadership of a global organization, Cheryl is a lifelong knowledge enthusiast and a voracious reader who once considered careers as a librarian, an astronaut and a journalist.
In this installment of the WELL Executive series, IWBI President and CEO Rachel Hodgdon sits down with her friend and Governance Council member to dive into an unscripted discussion about the intangible skills that make us good at what we do. They’ll explore how our inner lives shape our outer spaces, and the power of a well-told story to transform a movement.
The WELL Executive webcast series showcases leaders from the IWBI Governance Council, exploring how they take care of their people, their stakeholders and customers and, most importantly, how they take care of themselves. This series is proudly sponsored by Daikin, leading innovation in heating, air conditioning and ventilation technology for over 100 years, whose generous support makes this interview possible.
