If Destination Imagination played a meaningful role in your life—whether you competed for one year or ten—there’s a new opportunity to reconnect with the community that helped shape you. Applications for the DI Alumni Council are officially open through December 1, and we’d love to invite our many global alumni to apply! 

The Alumni Council is a volunteer team of former DI participants from across the U.S. and around the world. Council members work together to support alumni, collaborate with DIHQ and Affiliates, and help ensure DI remains a place where people feel encouraged and connected long after their team years end.

What Does the Alumni Council Do?

Alumni Council members:

    • Support and connect DI alumni of all ages
    • Partner with DIHQ and Affiliates on alumni-related initiatives
    • Help create meaningful alumni programming at tournaments and events
    • Develop tools, content, and resources for the alumni community
    • Champion creativity, confidence, and problem-solving as lifelong skills
    • Create spaces—virtual and in-person—where alumni feel a sense of belonging

    What matters most is bringing your experiences, your ideas, and your commitment to the DI mission.

    Who Should Apply

    You don’t need a specific job, title, or number of years as an alum. We’re looking for people who care about DI, bring fresh ideas, and want to make a meaningful impact.

    You might be a great fit if you want to:

      • Give back to the community that helped shape you
      • Support new alumni as they enter their next chapter
      • Help DI feel connected and meaningful beyond the season
      • Create experiences that spark creativity and belonging
      • Bring your DI story and strengths to a collaborative team

      If even one of these resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you!

      What to Expect

      • Applications close December 1
      • Selected candidates will be invited to a brief virtual interview
      • Registered Alumni Ambassadors will participate in a Public Vote
      • Additional members will be selected by the Council
      • New members will be announced in late December

       

      Apply by December 1

      Applications are open through Monday, December 1. To apply, please complete DI Alumni Council form.

      If you have questions about the application, time commitment, or the Council itself, please reach out to us at alumnicouncil@dihq.org.

      Destination Imagination Challenge Experience tournaments are full of jaw-dropping moments, but the real magic happens long before teams ever set foot on a stage. It’s in the messy, joyful, sometimes chaotic process of bringing big ideas to life: the brainstorm sessions, the late-night builds, the teamwork breakthroughs, the epic fails and even more epic comebacks.

      This season, we’re looking for DI Correspondents—Team Managers (and their teams!)—who want to help capture and share those behind-the-scenes moments that make the Challenge Experience so powerful.

      Whether your team is just getting started or already knee-deep in cardboard and duct tape, we want to follow along!

      What Does a DI Correspondent Do?

      As a DI Correspondent, you’ll help us showcase the creative process in action by:

      • Sharing photos and videos of your team’s journey throughout the season

      • Providing short monthly updates (don’t worry—we’ll guide you with prompts!)

      • Having the opportunity to contribute a guest blog post

      • Being featured across DI’s official social media channels

      It’s a fun and easy way to help inspire other teams, celebrate student creativity, and give the world a glimpse of what makes DI so special.

      How to Apply

      Team Managers interested in participating should complete our application form by October 11, 2025. 

      If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at socialmedia@dihq.org.

      ]]>       Strong leadership is essential to nurturing the future of innovation, education, and creative problem-solving. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome five new members to the Destination Imagination (DI) Board of Trustees—leaders who bring valuable expertise across fields including education, the arts, product development, entrepreneurship, technology, and learning strategy.

      Last week, we introduced three of these new Trustees—Bronwyn Bahr, Dr. Keisha Stephenson Taylor, and Sae Ro—who are already helping to shape the future of our organization. Today, we’re proud to spotlight two additional members of this exceptional group: Rachel Tracy and Faiza Yousuf. Together, all five of these individuals help to form a dynamic and forward-thinking cohort that reflects DI’s commitment to equipping young people with the skills they need to thrive.

      We’re honored to have them on board and excited for the expertise and leadership they will bring to the Destination Imagination community.

Now based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, she enjoys outdoor adventures with her husband, young son, and energetic lab puppy. Whether on a beach or at Disney World, Rachel continues to embrace joy, challenge, and curiosity in all that she does.
