My initial reaction was to be intransigent and maintain a hard line position. But my personal feelings are not as relevant and the needs of the profession, and it's important that we listen and truly engage every issue. AIGA has succeeded for almost 100 years by evolving with the industry. I have a terrible picture in my head of pulling up the drawbridge and hiding in the fort, while the world outside changes. We can't do that. In the end, AIGA's position may not change, or it may evolve. This is a complex issue with multiple viewpoints, and deserves serious thinking and answers.
