What is the Design & Living Magazine Editorial Advisory Board?
This board is made up of representatives from unbiased organizations who will meet quarterly with the staff of Design & Living Magazine and provide monthly feedback.

How were these organizations chosen?
Each organization is an authority on one of the subjects covered in Design & Living Magazine, including local art, architecture, home decor, interior design and landscaping.

Each organization nominated a representative who was then approved by the staff of Design & Living Magazine.
