MEMBERS

It is our goal to have a senior member of each local game development company on the advisory board. If you're company does not already have someone on the Albany IGDA Chapter advisory board please send an email to albanyigda@gmail.com or speak to a coordinator or advisory board member at the next meeting. We are also on the look out for dedicated chapter coordinators who will help with organizing meetings. This position requires a good deal of work so it isn't for everyone but if you are still interested in helping out and don't have much time you can do so as a contributor. Contributors aren't required to help out with setting up meetings but do help with the chapter with things like taking pictures at meetings, running chapter game projects and helping out on the forums. The current Albany Chapter team is:
