Please note that this information will be outdated by the end of the 2013 ISA Annual Convention. We will update ISA Leadership information (including officers and committees) on our new website in mid-April. A summary of new ISA Committee members is available for download here (PDF).

ISA Standing Committees and Appointments

The members of ISA standing committees and other appointments are nominated by the incoming ISA President with the approval of the ISA Governing Council at the annual Governing Council meeting.

Standing committees and appointees are responsible to the Governing Council and should report to it at least once a year. At the discretion of the Governing Council these annual reports may be given at the Business Meeting of the ISA and/or submitted in writing for publication. On recommendation of the President, the Governing Council designates the individuals to serve as chair and members of a standing committee. The chair of a standing committee may not serve consecutive terms.

The lengths of committee members’ terms vary among standing committees and appointments but all terms officially begin with the start of the ISA Annual Convention meeting of the first year listed and end with the closing of the ISA Governing Council meeting of the final year listed.

Committee members and appointees may find the ISA Leadership Resources and the Committee Resources useful.
