ISA Regions

Welcome to ISA Regions

Geographic sub-units of ISA are called "regions" and they offer opportunities for members to exchange ideas and research with local colleagues. Each U.S. and Canadian member of ISA is automatically identified with the regional grouping of his or her area. Presently, the ISA distinguishes five North American geographical regions: Northeast, South, Midwest, West, and Canada. The Asia-Pacific Region was chartered by the ISA Governing Council at the Annual Convention in New York in 2009 and is ISA's newest region.  Please scroll down for the contact info for the region presidents or use the ISA Region Links menu to the left to visit the region websites.

About Region Creation

Presently, the ISA distinguishes six geographical Regions: the Asia-Pacific Region and five North American Regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, West, and Canada).

New Regions may be established upon the presentation of a Petition to the Governing Council, via the Executive Director.  Said Petition shall have no less than fifty signatures of current ISA Members who reside in the newly proposed Region. This is in accordance with Article IV of the ISA Constitution. Current ISA Regions may be realigned with the agreement of the Presidents involved and through the action of the Governing Council. A request must be presented to the Governing Council via the Executive Director. Requests must outline the proposed realignment and state the rationale for it.
