Design Community Leaders
The New York Upstate/Canada East Chapter covers a large geographic area that includes New York State North of New York City and the Eastern part of Canada. We have six Design Communities. Our Design Community Leaders (DCLs) are located in Design Communities throughout the Chapter and work to organize networking and learning events for our members. The ASID leadership year runs from October 1 – September 30. If you are an ASID member and would like to volunteer to become involved with any of these Design Communities, please contact the respective DCL directly. You can download a map of our Chapter’s Design Communities here.
