How do you see the community? What does it mean to be part of a World IA Day community? The global board wants to know from you. A group of volunteers is helping us find out what you think is important for a professional and educational community around information architecture. 

This is part of our continuous efforts to hear back from the community-at-large. There’s a lot at stake to reform this organization. We’d like to include you along this journey.
