===Society of Industrial Designers (SID)===
Teague, Loewy and Dreyfuss, as well as 15 East Coast designers,<ref name=IDSA/> established the Society of Industrial Designers (SID) as "tangible evidence of the arriving maturity of the field," according to Teague, who also said, "Its purpose is to define and maintain standards of ethics and performance within the profession, and to guide and improve the still somewhat experimental education of future designers.<ref name="QtrCen"/> For his accomplishments in establishing industrial design as a profession, Teague was named the first president of SID in February 1944.<ref name=IDSA/>

In 1955, the SID changed its name to the American Society of Industrial Design (ASID), and by 1965 the organization had evolved into today's [[Industrial Designers Society of America]] (IDSA).<ref name=IDSA/>
