Get involved. Give back.
Did you know AIGA Detroit is 100% volunteer-powered? Our chapter’s success depends solely on the efforts of our many volunteers. It takes smart, dedicated, creative people like yourself to make everything we do possible. And while your volunteer efforts really do help the design community, they also help you build leadership skills, build your professional network, and, ok this is cheesy but bear with us, it feels good to give back and belong to a fun group!

Board positions: Board members commit to a one to two -year agreement to serve the Detroit chapter of AIGA. The time, motivation, and dedication shared makes a significant impact on the local community. This requires a commitment to the vision and needs of AIGA Detroit while strengthening your network with local designers and AIGA chapters around the nation. Nominees need not be an AIGA member at the time of nomination but will be required to join AIGA at the Emerging level ($150) or above if elected to a board position.
The board meets monthly to report on and develop chapter activities. While this is a “working board,” we are fiducially and strategically responsible for this 501(c)3 organization. Taking on a board role is a serious endeavor with large responsibilities, however, it’s also an exciting task. Our board and committee members serve the Southeast Michigan design community, providing leadership and helping shape the understanding and value of our profession.
