Get ready to cast your vote for the next leaders of the AIGA Houston chapter.

In accordance with our chapter bylaws, the next group of AIGA Houston board and committee members to serve the local community will be elected by a majority vote of the members of the AIGA Houston chapter. As a chapter board, we are made of the members, by the members, for the members. Only votes by active AIGA members will be counted in the election. This year’s elections will elect the chapter’s next team of committee members and executive officers to serve AIGA Houston’s community during the 2025–2027 term. Learn more about the process to become a chapter leader.
