Green Design Salons
As we extend our mission to inspire sustainable business practices in the design profession, we are actively encouraging AIGA Chapters across the country to organize "Green Design Salons" in their own communities. This flexible low-key format can be scaled to match individual chapter level interest and participation -- it can be as informal as a few like-minded designers gathering at a cafe. The objective is to establish dialogue that addresses the needs and professional interests of the AIGA membership on a regional level.
Several AIGA Chapters have already created events around the topic of green design, and many of those have active Environmental Chairs or committees dedicated to developing programming and resources for their individual chapters and communities. In the link below, you will find an updated list of planned chapter activities, please check back often for events in your area.
We are also in the process of identifying individuals who are passionate about sustainability and who would be interested in serving as CFSD contacts within each chapter. If you are interested in being considered for this role, please refer to the CFSD Chapter Liaison section.
AIGA Los Angeles, Kansas City and Portland Chapters have organized events around Earth Day and we are excited to share these events as some of the first Green Design Salons to take place this year. We will be bringing you updates, event summaries and photos from each of these events in the coming weeks.
