Development Committee

In every organization, there is a point at which it becomes necessary to obtain additional funding beyond dues and program fees. This is the stage when sponsorship development becomes vital to that organization’s continued growth. Development is a mutually beneficial relationship. By supporting AIGA programs, sponsors receive direct access to the buyers of their products and service, as well as, marketing opportunities they cannot obtain elsewhere. In turn, AIGA is strengthened by their support. The development committee is responsible for maintaining and developing relationships with companies and individuals who are currently or can potentially provide financial support to the chapter, and works closely with programming chairs when they are putting together their yearly plan of the events.

Board members serve a two-year term that runs from June-May. In April of each year, chapter membership is asked to nominate AIGA Los Angeles members that you think will be an asset to the Board and our chapter. And remember, you can always nominate yourself!

Volunteering for AIGA Los Angeles is a great way to meet other designers, hone your professional skills and give back to your community. Plus, without our dedicated volunteers, we would not be able to carry out the incredible events and initiatives planned throughout the year. So we need you!
