Greetings IGDA Members!
One of the most important aspects of the IGDA is the community of volunteers and members who help ensure that our Organizational mission is a success. Around the world our community thrives and builds a culture of sharing and growth that makes our industry unique amongst our media peers.
Our newsletter this month looks to teach and build skills required for successful community development. I encourage you to take these lessons back into your own Chapters and studios so that the ideas can take root and flourish. Enjoy this month’s Newsletter. Until next month, I bid you peace.
Sincerely,
Dustin Clingman, Chair
IGDA Board of Directors
