Joining the AIGA DC Board of Directors
AIGA DC is run by an all-volunteer board of local members, composed of working designers, creatives, and media professionals. We are a motivated, passionate group of professionals who help shape and give back to the DMV creative community.
By nominating yourself or someone else, you can help guide the activities of our chapter!
Being a member of the AIGA DC Board means being an ambassador for AIGA to members and non-members. What’s the commitment?
Joining the AIGA DC Board is a two-year commitment. You can also serve for longer (and many do). At the end of each year, board members may decide if they want to keep their current role or move to another open position.
Specific responsibilities vary depending on the team and the role and all board members are expected to:
Attend all required planning retreats and monthly board meetings.
Attend major events (bonus: board members get into all our events for free!)
Be responsive on Slack and email (Slack is our main communications platform).
The weekly time commitment varies from role to role and throughout the year.
Following our Spring and Fall recruitment periods, we welcome new members to the board in June (Spring) and October (Fall), and host training in July (Spring) and November (Fall). The annual board retreat and planning session in August.
Monthly board meetings, programming, and regular communications occur during our programming year from September through early June.
We hosted a virtual information session on September 9, 2024 to cover more about what it means to be on the board, what the different roles and responsibilities are, and any other questions you may have about being on the board.
