Below are just a few examples of the ways RGD Members get involved and support the community:

 

Newsletter / Website Content

Members contribute content to RGD's website, which is also then featured in our weekly e-newsletter sent to over 20,000 subscribers and across RGD's social media channels. Content includes Case Studies, projects for our monthly Project Showcase, Industry Insights, Top 5 lists, Book Reviews, Day In The Life articles. Check out 'Guidelines for Contributing Content' or email .

 

Portfolio Reviews & Mentorship

Creative directors and senior designers provide constructive feedback and mentoring for emerging designers through in-person and virtual Portfolio Reviews as well as RGD's Mentorship Program. In particular, now that new Provisional RGDs complete an portfolio review as part of their introduction to Membership, there are many opportunities to participate and give back. To find out more, email .

 

RGD Committees

Members volunteer their time to serve on RGD's many Committees, including Certification, Education, Ethics, Membership and Programs, help RGD grow our programs and initiatives. Committee Members from across the country meet virtually for an hour once a month and carry out tasks as needed. If you are interested in joining a Committee, complete this online form.

 

Judging

Members review submissions, provide feedback and select winners for our Awards Programs, which include So(cial) Good Design Awards, In-House Design Awards and Student Awards. Members also serve as Evaluators of RGD's Certification Process when RGD Candidates present their portfolios. For more information, email .

 

Speaking Opportunities
