Affiliates

All SND members belong to geographic regions, each represented by a regional director on the SND board.

Some members seek more formal local organizations, either as students or as professionals who share common interests or a common language. These groups may organize meetings, competitions or other events. To enable these activities, SND members may form student or professional affiliates.
Additionally, SND members in Regions 11 and 12 host a Web site for news design in Latin America.

Professional affiliates

SND currently has five professional affiliates, SNDS, SND/E, SND/DACH, SND/FR and SND Chinese. Affiliates create their own organizational structures and may charge affiliate dues in addition to the SND membership, but each affiliate is financially independent of SND. For more information, see forming a student affiliate or forming a professional affiliate.

Student affiliates

From its beginning, SND has made education a top priority. The Society accepts students and educators as voting members, and encourages them to form affiliate groups at their colleges and universities.Students who belong to SND affiliates – and their advisers – receive discounts on membership dues. Student affiliates can organize competitions, workshops and other local design events; participate in SND Quick Courses tailored to their needs; apply to work as facilitators at the annual Best of News Design™ Creative Competition; and apply for travel grants to help them attend the Annual Workshop & Exhibition.
