A Better Tomorrow For Design: Town Hall 2023

We invite you to join us for our upcoming Town Hall, AIGA LA’s annual public forum, to explore the vision of “A Better Design for Tomorrow.”

Together with Allison Frenzel, AME Program Specialist, we’ll discuss how our roles as industry professionals can contribute to fostering a new pathway for the next generation of designers. We’ll take look at the work that’s been done to reshape the graphic design industry and open the floor to community members for further discussion, ask questions and contribute ideas to future programming.

Our town hall is our opportunity for the Board of Directors at AIGA LA to share our progress in our work to build a more relevant, inclusive, accessible, and experimental organization to better serve our community. Here is where you can get the news on updates to AIGA LA membership, progress on our programming, and hear about 2023 nominations.

Most importantly, you’ll have a chance to ask questions, give feedback on our goals & events, and be heard.
