Committees

Representatives of our membership

ISA has a long tradition of members helping other members. Nowhere in our organization is this more clearly demonstrated than through the volunteer efforts of our many committees. They play a vital role in contributing to the benefits and programs that our membership enjoys. It is due to the hundreds of volunteer hours generously donated each year by committee members that ISA can continue to expand and refine its educational offerings, produce annual conferences, provide members with recognition and valuable benefits, generate publicity and useful promotional tools, and facilitate member networking through the website forum.

Effective committees unify, represent, motivate, coordinate, consolidate, and most important, they communicate. They function best when their members are selected appropriately and they have a clearly defined mission, strong leadership, and competent staffing.

The Responsibilities of the Volunteer Committees
