NOTICE! ISA is seeking
qualified nominees from the General Membership for positions on the ISA
Board…Deadline to submit Nominations is December 14, 2009.
The ISA governance
is restructuring into two distinct bodies beginning at the end of the
March, 2010, ISA Board meeting. One of these bodies will be the new
ISA Board of Director’s composed of 15 members and the other will be the
Council of Component Representatives (CCR) which will be made up of a
representative of each of the ISA chapters and professional affiliations.
The structure of
the future Board will be made up of the President, the President-elect,
and 13 Directors. Of these 13 people, 5 are to be nominated and voted
upon by the CCR and 8 from the ISA membership-at-large. The
transition plan already installed the 5 current ISA Vice Presidents onto
the new Board of Directors leaving 8 positions to fill through an
election process.

this notice is to solicit nominations from the ISA General Membership. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else
as a candidate for the new ISA Board of Directors, please send the name
