A new program aimed at promoting sustainable practices within the design industry has been launched by AIGA Portland. To assure the degree of emphasis needed to significantly move the program forward, a new Sustainability Chair position was created on the Board. Lisa Holmes, the current Secretary, was named to the position.

Raising awareness of the importance of sustainability in design work will be a key goal of the program, as will increasing the focus on sustainability within our chapter and local design community. Part of this effort will be achieved by showcasing local efforts by designers and vendors. Plus, we will work to build an online information resource for our members.
