Join BDA/Promax as a student



I've been an active member of this organization since 1980 and it's an amazing group of individuals and professionals with one of the best annual conferences you'll ever have the chance to attend. This organization is informative and has a worldwide appeal for all it's members. I've been lucky enough over the years to be asked to judge many of it's international design competitions. I've seen them honor Bill Clinton, Robert Redford and many others whose lives are intermingled with the broadcast design industry and branding. The President of the United States understands Branding.
Student memberships are inexpensive as professional organizations g
