AIGA advances design as a professional craft, strategic advantage and vital cultural force. As the largest community of design advocates, we bring together practitioners, enthusiasts, and patrons to amplify the voice of design and create the vision for a collective future. We define global standards and ethical practices, guide design education, enhance professional development, and make powerful tools and resources accessible to all. In order to carry out the national mission on a local level, AIGA DFW has created the following strategic goals: - Meet the demands of the design community. - Make a better mark in the design and business community. - Reflect best practices. - Provide a channel for engagement. - Communicate the value of design to the community. - Help nurture grassroots organizations.
