Our Committees

From our Sustainability Committee to our Accessible Design Task Force to our Racial Justice Commission, SEGD committees advance our mission.

Committees

Our committees play a vital role in advancing SEGD’s mission. Volunteer committee members support our work by bringing together invaluable insights informed by diverse perspectives. Their research and recommendations align our goals and shape our path forward, facilitating communication and collaboration, and ensuring accountability and transparency. Participation in our committees provides equitable opportunities for deeper engagement, leadership, and influence within SEGD and the experience design profession as a whole.
