Design and Development
President Elect

Jill Stefaniak
Old Dominion University


My name is Jill Stefaniak and I running for President-Elect for the Design & Development Division. I am currently an Assistant Professor and Graduate Program Director in the Instructional Design & Technology Program at Old Dominion University. As a lifetime member of AECT, I have had the privilege of serving our organization in a variety of ways. I am currently finishing as 2-year term as the VP of Communications for the Design & Development division.

I have served in many capacities for the Design & Development Division as a board member. Prior to serving as VP of Communications, I served a 3-year term as a board member.

For the past five years, I have had the opportunity to assist with the Design & Development showcase, a forum that provides a great opportunity to showcase the work of many of our next generation designers. I have also worked with the case competition and served as the first Board Associate for the D&D Division in 2013. In 2014, I was a co-investigator on a needs assessment that identified opportunities for volunteers and leadership development within AECT.  

If chosen to serve as President-Elect, I will work to help forward the vision of the Design and Development Division by assisting with opportunities to promote design opportunities within our division, our organization, and our field. I believe that I have a strong understanding of our organization and am looking forward to identifying strategies that will promote communication with our membership, but also connect with our other organizational divisions. I look forward to the challenge!
