Or hear what our Members have to say about why they are RGDs below:
As a sole proprietor I especially value the connection RGD provides to the larger design community. Being a member helps me keep up with trends and keeps me inspired! The annual DesignThinkers Conference is a favourite event. Each year, influential speakers from a variety of different disciplines remind me to think of design as it relates to all aspects of life and inspire me to consider new possibilities within my creative practice.

I currently work at a small design studio where we have a large portion of government clients with strict accessibility standards. We often refer to the AccessAbility Handbook and keep up to date with the latest requirements through webinars and events hosted by RGD. In a situation where we were unable to find answers to very specific questions, the RGD team promptly directed us to members who were able to help us. This connection eventually led to great collaboration and teamwork that quickly resolved the issues at hand. Indeed an excellent example of comradery, even amongst competitors. - See more at: http://www.rgd.ca/2015/04/15/why-is-emerald-lee-an-rgd.php#sthash.9Ywe6BSo.dp
When I moved to a smaller city to practice and raise my family in 2007, I missed my connection with the greater design community. I missed my people! Soon, I reached out and strengthened my involvement with RGD. I joined the Ethics, Webinar and Eastern Ontario Committees, hosted several Future By Design webcast events locally, and served a term on the Board of Directors with some incredibly smart and passionate folks. - See more at: http://www.rgd.ca/2014/01/22/why-is-erin-boyce-an-rgd.php#sthash.JvfbGksT.dpuf
