Be part of the advancement we all hope to see as ISA soars into first place as the premiere society for personal property appraisers.
Are we all feeling the momentum that is building within ISA? As members, the best way we can further that momentum and help ISA continue to grow is by joining with your fellow members in Committee work.
Volunteer committee members are vital to the health of our organization. Committees draft and propose programs that support the goals and objectives of the Society’s strategic plan, make recommendations to the board of directors, work with the ISA Office staff to determine financial budget of programs, and enhance effective communication with the membership.
A clear example of great committee work is the development of our new website. Hopefully you have all had a chance check out our new image and capability, including the ability to build your own professional webpage (including a photo) on the ISA site. The success of the new website is not only for our current members and potential new clients. It is a big step toward building our brand, and advancing our goal of positioning ISA as the premiere personal appraisal society. When you admire our new website you are experiencing the results of committee work.
