Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
AIGA encourages diversity in design education, discourse, and practice to strengthen and expand the relevance of design in all areas of society.
Despite progress made over the course of AIGA’s 100-year history, there are vast opportunities to support a more diverse audience of design students, practitioners, managers, thinkers, enthusiasts, clients, consumers, and policy makers.
Recent passionate conversations among AIGA members have catalyzed the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiative to augment ongoing AIGA programs with new ideas and resources that take a comprehensive approach, considering race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability and disability, age, and other factors that shape creative perspective and professional experience.

Impact Reports and Town Halls
In 2016 and 2017, the AIGA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion taskforce compiled an annual impact report—a summary of its key milestones and learnings that year. These reports are a testimony to the engagement of the task force and its influence in shaping the conversation around these issues across AIGA chapters and beyond.
