Governance Restructure

The Society governance model has changed little since ISA’s founding in 1945 but the world and ISA has changed greatly during this period. The ISA Executive Board has established a task force to look at the Society’s governance structure to determine if changes are needed to enable ISA to meet the needs of today’s member and remain relevant into the future.
