AIGA Connecticut Announces New Board of Directors for 2010-2011

AIGA Connecticut is pleased to announce its new Board of Directors for 2010-2011. AIGA, the professional association for design, is committed to furthering excellence in design as a broadly defined discipline, a strategic tool for business and a cultural force. AIGA is the place that design and creative professionals turn to exchange ideas and information, participate in critical analyses and research, advance education, and uphold ethical practices.

Entering its third year as an established chapter of the national organization based in New York City, Connecticut joins 65 other national chapters. AIGA CT has had a remarkable start with events and quality programming that has included such names as Sean Adams, William Drenttel, Pam Williams, Alex Isley, Cummings & Good and Patrick Coyne.

It is understood that all local chapters mirror the high standards and professional expectations of its national board. These Connecticut leaders for the 2010-2011 Board of Directors have demonstrated their dedication in carrying out this standard of excellence. Already AIGA CT has established a new morning series, Breakfast Epiphany, and is hard at work to bring the best names and ideas in the creative industry to its Connecticut membership.

As the Board of Directors, AIGA Connecticut works to share the transformative power of design-thinking with the public and all creatives across the industry and its interdisciplinary professions. AIGA CT will encourage inclusivity by embracing and supporting best practices and principles with our members, their clients and the public. AIGA CT supports and encourages the purpose of doing work for good, and reaches out to the next generation of creatives through educational resources and programming.
