Design and Technology SIG Business Meeting

Session Type: Business Meeting

Abstract

Join us for a fast-paced SIG gathering that combines essential business updates (including elections, priorities, and upcoming calls), award recognition (celebrating outstanding scholarship, service, and student contributions), and community building. We’ll kick off with a concise business overview, followed by a brief honors segment to spotlight this year’s awardees. Then, move into get-to-know-you activities, quick pair-and-share prompts, and a mini-networking mixer to spark new collaborations across research and practice. We’ll close with a structured member feedback segment (live poll or sticky-note/QR prompts) to capture priorities for programming, mentoring, and advocacy. Expect clear next steps, volunteer opportunities, and a shared roadmap for the year. Come ready to connect, celebrate, and shape the SIG’s direction together.
