SIGGRAPH, GDC, Autodesk University oh my!

Over the last 12 months, the AAUGA chapters leaders have been meeting at conferences and on the phones working hard to coordinate the connection and collaboration of all of our chapters globally. The first and most important step of this was electing an Executive Commitee that will be charged with coordinating operations of the AAUGA global efforts to support the local chapters. The elections took place just after SIGGRAPH 2011 and the committee is well under way with planning and tasks that will transform and prepare our association for growth in the coming years.

We have a number of exciting announcements coming soon regarding upcoming events, new chapters, new site features and content that will hopefully be a wonderful resource to our local chapters. Stay tuned as we build our future together and grow our community!
