Membership Overview
Membership Has Its Benefits
AIGA, the professional association for design, represents more than 20,000 designers through national activities and local programs developed by 66 chapters and 240 student groups. AIGA has been advancing the value of design since 1914, acting as the collective voice of the profession and providing numerous resources to members. When you join AIGA, you receive many exclusive offers and discounts not available to the general public. In addition, you are welcomed into a community of peers, while furthering your professional development and contributing to the influence of design to improve the human experience.
As an AIGA member, your dues support the National organization in New York, while also providing resources for the local Los Angeles chapter. Those resources are used to leverage private and corporate sponsorships for events, programs and scholarships.
