Marie Fitzgerald, SMMA board member and Director of Interior Design practice, has been named the 2015 recipient of the International Interior Design Association New England Leadership Award. As the highest individual honor bestowed by the New England Chapter of the IIDA, the award recognizes Marie’s contributions to the interior design profession and her impact on the New England design community. This morning, she received the honor at the organization's annual Business Leader's Breakfast.
