I don't know about GAG... whats the summary?

AIGA seems much more professional. Although the GAG's pricing and ethical guidelines is very helpful.

it also depends on where you are and what your chapter is doing. Philadelphia has a great AIGA but no GAG...

A lot of them make me nauseous, specifically under web design.

Ok, I went to that site and thought "no, this isn't it, I missed something". Considering GAG is suppoed to represent Graphic Artists and their site looks like 1995, I'm not sure how much they are worth.
I've never been a huge fan of AIGA. I've done a few things with IXDA...what do people think of them?

GAG's members seem to be more illustrators, graphic artists, etc.

I've been to a few of these guy's meetings and won an award from them. More for the usability and interface design type stuff though. Not so much graphic design.

GAG's ethics and pricing guide is pretty useful, in my opinion. I don't belong to any professional organization, though.

Anyone have experienced direct benefits with either one?
- i was pretty involved in the san diego chapter of aiga. seemed like more of my thing than gag.Faction18
- aiga i found was a pretty good resource and have active involvement nationwide. From a local standpoint ,unfortunately my chapter in Miami doesn't feel as involving as san francisco or ny because they'll hold an event once or twice a year.ke_pmk30
- hey faction where in SD are you? I'm here too ;)Meeklo

AIGA-LA ....two events this month. damn, it must hurt to pay that monthly fee.
i like them, at the moment i just think there not enough for what it cost.
