The Mission of the Society for Design Administration is to promote the exchange of ideas and to provide educational opportunities, accredited through both SDA and AIA continuing education criteria, to members in the related disciplines of design firm administration or members of the organization and the design community.

Membership in a professional organization is evidence of your commitment to excellence as a member of your organization.  SDA is an organization comprised of office administrators, human resource managers, project administrators, marketing coordinators, IT managers, and finance managers in offices that are related to the design profession.  These positions are the core of the design industry, from making the day-to-day business decisions to providing assistance to their design teams.  SDA has over 800 members nationally from architecture, engineering, construction, landscape architecture, and other design-related firms.  Whatever your administrative capacity with a design firm, SDA can help you continue your career growth and assist in your personal and professional development.
