ISPA Board Service

The ISPA Board is fully engaged in the leadership of the organization.  The board defines the association’s strategic vision to ensure ISPA continues to grow and remain relevant to members. To fulfill this important task, board members must be fully engaged and committed to the association.  Although the board does not focus attention on the details of the daily operations of ISPA, it does provide guidance and goals for the team. In order for these strategies to be fulfilled, the board must be prepared to make decisions and provide feedback when approached by the team with questions and requests.
