Leaders Breakfast 2008
Sep 23 2008

We are pleased to announce San Francisco’s 2008 IIDA Leaders Breakfast!

It will be held on September 23rd, 7:30 am to 10:00 am at San Francisco’s Four Seasons Hotel, located at 757 Market Street, San Francisco

Our speaker this year is Chris Jordan, a Seattle-based photographic artist who first became known for his large-scale color photographs of the detritus of American consumer culture, in a series entitled Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption. His more recent project, Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait, has established Chris as an internationally acclaimed artist and spokesperson for social change.

When Running the Numbers was first released in early 2007, it quickly went viral on the
internet. His images have been featured in hundreds of magazines, newspapers, television features, documentary films, books, school curriculums and blogs around the globe, and he has been invited to exhibit his work in art museums, festivals and public venues in the U.S., Asia, Europe and South America.

Most recently Chris was chosen by National Geographic Channels International to serve as their Eco-ambassador for Earth Day, 2008. In April of this year they sponsored a month-long tour in Asia and Europe, where Chris exhibited his prints and gave public talks, workshops and interviews.

Chris has been invited to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in November to participate in the
World Economic Forum summit. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the New
American Dream Foundation. His work recently won the prestigious Green Leaf Award from the United Nations Environmental Programme, presented at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway. This year the Running the Numbers series was one of three finalists for the international Darmstadt Photographic Prize in Germany, and a finalist for the new Green Prix Award in the U.S

We are extremely honored to have a speaker of Chris Jordan’s caliber at this year’s Leaders Breakfast.

We will also bestow our Leadership Award of Excellence to this year’s honoree,
Hank Dunlop IIDA, IDEC, Associate Professor, Interiors, California College of the Arts.
We will be honoring him for the contributions he has made to IIDA and our community on
a local level, elevating our profession through his leadership in design and education.

This year the Northern California’s Chapter’s Distinguished Achievement Award will be awarded posthumously to C. David Robinson, FAIA, for his lifelong dedication to art,
architecture and design in the San Francisco Bay area.

We hope you will be there to help us celebrate IIDA’s legacy of leadership and
commitment to the future of design at this powerful and inspiring event!
