AIGA Charlotte is looking for volunteers to join our Board of Directors!

You may attend AIGA Charlotte events regularly. You may have volunteered a couple of times in the past. You may have even been involved as a mentor in our Mentorship program. You’ve been drawn to Charlotte’s design community over time, and find yourself with a continued drive to do more, become more involved, and make more of a difference. If this sounds like the energy and passion you’re looking to provide, and if you are wanting to become more involved with our chapter, AIGA Charlotte wants you!

We have multiple positions available on the Board—Programming Manager, Social Media Manager, Diversity & Inclusion Managers, Education Managers, and more! Apply now!



General Responsibilities
+ Attendance at all Chapter Board Meetings (held once per month on the 3rd Wednesday of each month).
+ Act as a leader for the design community and a good steward of our profession.
+ Adhere to the AIGA Standards of Professional Practice.
+ Lead and direct the future of the AIGA Chapter.
+ Manager positions are 1-year commitments.


Time Commitment
+ Individual position responsibilities vary by role but all positions require active participation via slack and email.
+ All Board positions are flexible and can be shaped by the person in that role. Each Board Member can choose what it is they want to bring to the chapter and the design community within the general realm of their position.
+ Board Members are not limited to contribute only within their position’s role. All Board Members are encouraged to work as a team and are free to bring expertise in any area they have or develop initiatives in areas they have a special interest. 

Benefits

+ Chapters nationwide are selected to attend a multi-day Leadership Retreat conference which is hosted in a different selected Chapter city each year.
+ Board Members create invaluable networks of professional relationships and friendships locally and nationally.
