Our friends on the AIGA/LA Board of Directors will be attending the annual AIGA Leadership Retreat this June 4th through 6th in Portland, Oregon. The AIGA Leadership Retreat is an important opportunity for the organization's leaders to meet together, celebrate the past year and actively prepare for the year ahead. This year's retreat is particularly important because chapter and community leaders will define the future course for AIGA.
Chapter leaders get to learn about what's happening nationally as well as what other chapters are doing and share ideas and information with other leaders. Attendees build skills and build community. The leadership retreat is a time for motivation, inspiration and rejuvenation.
This year's retreat is a critical juncture as we begin to restructure AIGA before its hundredth anniversary in 2014. AIGA needs to adapt to serving new design disciplines and address the changing needs of our design community.
Who we serve, what we do, how we communicate and how an association can support the next generation have changed dramatically over the past decade. AIGA leaders from all over the country will gather to participate in roundtable discussions to determine the future shape of the organization.
Our chapter will be sending four board members who will prepare for the retreat in advance and participate in these critical discussions. President Michael Lejeune and Board Members Jimmy Moss, Jane Lee and Jill Finley will be attending.
When they return, they will share their experiences with us. We will post the highlights and key finding from the retreat here on the website, so check back here in a few weeks. We look forward to hearing what the future holds for our chapter in the next year and in years to come!
We'd love to hear your ideas on how we can make our chapter better. Please share your thoughts on what you see as the future of AIGA/LA!
