Call for nominations to the AIGA board
The AIGA board nominating committee, chaired by Robin Tooms, of Savage Design in Houston, is seeking nominations to be submitted by December 15, 2006. We encourage every member to consider nominating candidates for the AIGA board of directors. Self-nomination is permitted. This next decade will be critical to how we achieve members’ ambitions for AIGA at its centennial in 2014.

The committee consists of members who are not on the board to make sure member interests are represented in the new nominations and that the national board is not self-perpetuating (a weak point of many association boards).

Five seats are open. The process for nominations is published at www.aiga.org/nominationsprocess. Nominations may be submitted by the nominee or by others on his or her behalf. The application process is thorough to assure that the committee has the same information on all candidates, recognizes the work nominees have done at the chapter level, and reveals the level of commitment of the nominees. The responsibilities of the position, which are also considerable, can be seen at www.aiga.org/boardresponsibilities.

Board members who are rolling off the board on June 30, 2007, are:

David Gibson, New York
Marcia Lausen, Chicago
Marty Neumeier, San Francisco
Bonnie Siegler, New York
