President (2025)

Should I become a Board Member or Volunteer first?

We’re all volunteers! Board member or committee volunteer, it’s up to you. Board members do have an expectation to be active participants in board activities, as well as showing up to AIGA Portland events through the year. If you don’t have the time to commit to a board position, being a volunteer member is a great way to contribute to our city’s design community in a more flexible way.

Want to learn more? Reach out to our volunteer coordinator via email.

Board Member Qualifications

If you…

1. Can attend Monthly Board Meetings (currently virtual).
2. Ability to attend twice per year in-person Board Retreats.
3. Can commit to a 2-year volunteer term (at 5+ hrs/week)
4. Do (or will) have an AIGA membership at any level 
5. Have a strong desire to support, educate, and uplift the PDX design community…

Then you can become a board member!
