Since our inception in 2010, our core intent has been to bring AIGA’s national mission of “advancing design as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force” to San Antonio. As the 66th and newest chapter to the national AIGA family, AIGA San Antonio is beginning to find its legs and plant a stake in the community. As we are still a growing chapter, we want to reach out to anyone who might be interested in AIGA and is looking to get involved.
Our current Board of Directors is made up of eight dedicated volunteers and it is ever growing. Five of our Directors lead a Team of individuals in planning and executing ideas throughout their terms. Below you will find an overview of each of our Teams. I hope you will read through them and consider taking a leadership role in our organization. We are always excited to meet passionate individuals who want to get involved. Don’t hesitate to introduce yourself! No matter where your interests may lie, we can find a place for you and your passion.
