The Fellow program is a means of recognizing longtime members who have made a significant contribution to raising the standards of excellence in practice and conduct within their local or regional design community as well as in their local AIGA chapter. Biennially, the Fellow/Fresh Awards Chair and their committee nominates qualifying members for this award, oversees the voting process, announces the Fellow(s) and plans the award reception in their honor. Their committee also awards the biennial Fresh Award that celebrates the work of a young and up-and-coming designer.
