Introducing two new Virtual Communities
The RGD has introduced two new Virtual Communities, one for experiential graphic designers and one for designers working in the financial sector.
The RGD's Virtual Communities Program brings professional RGD Members together to share knowledge, discuss experiences and support each other. This initiative reinforces the idea that we are not alone. We are a part of a rich community of RGD Members working to improve our careers, communities and work.
Members of each Virtual Community are invited to join a special Slack Channel as part of the RGD’s Slack Community and are invited to virtual meetings, scheduled by the Community Leaders.
To sign up for either of these new Virtual Communities, or any of the others, which include Solo Designers, BIPOC Designers, UX Managers & Senior Designers, Firm Owners, Municipal Designers, complete this online application form.
