Volunteer with IASA: National Committees

National Committee Participation

IASA’s national committees play a pivotal role in helping IASA deliver educational programming and resources for members throughout the year.  Each committee is composed of leaders in their respective areas who recommend and guide the development of content for IASA membership.  

Committee terms run July 1 – June 30th each year and last for one year with the option of applying for re-appointment at the end of the term.  Each volunteer committee is led by a Chair and Vice Chair. IASA Members may apply to serve on a national committee at any time.
