Why attend the SDA GA?
The GA forms the governing body of the SDA. It is open to all; however, only SDA members have the right to vote. Each member has one vote.
SDA is a democratic, non-profit scholarly association making the GA the most critical meeting of the year. Through our participation in democratic principles, we strengthen the co-evolution of systemic design, adapting each field’s preferred core disciplinary methods and mobilising knowledge across practitioners and scholars.
The SDA supports the efforts of advanced design practice to:
- Lead programs of strategic scale and higher complexity (e.g., social policy, healthcare, education, urbanisation)
- Adapt systems thinking methods and creatively push the boundaries beyond the popular modes of systems dynamics and soft systems
- Invite academics worldwide to become members, participate in events, and share research
The General Assembly is registered with the number of members attending. Issues are settled with a simple majority. No one has more than one vote. Electronic devices will conduct all voting and elections.
