AIGA NY - The Future of Work

From 2017 - 2018 I served on the board of the NY Chapter of AIGA. AIGA is the oldest and largest professional membership organization for design with more than 70 chapters and 25,000+ members. AIGA advances design as a professional craft, strategic advantage, and vital cultural force. From content that defines the global practice to events that connect and catalyze, we work to enhance the value and deepen the impact of design across all disciplines on business, society, and our collective future.

As Chair of the Membership Committee, I was tasked with growing our membership by producing compelling programming. In February of 2018, we launched a 5 month series on the Future of Work and the creative economy as well as skills-building workshops and entrepreneurial education.
