Professional Chapter Leader
Professional chapters are city-based community groups delivering enriching design experiences across North America. Though its leadership, the value IDSA Chapters provide is sometimes difficult to quantify, but often immeasurable in terms of positive impact on one’s future career.

Section Leader
Sections are centers for knowledge exchange and subject matter expertise within specific design domains and they create pathways of connection for members of our community. Sections are not geographically bound but often partner with IDSA’s Chapters to produce content and host events together.
