Leadership
ISD is a not-for-profit 501(C)(6) trade association, governed by an elected Board of Directors and supported by appointed committees and staff. Any ISD member in good standing may serve as a committee member or be nominated for election to serve on the Board. ISD Leadership Nomination Form should be completed for any interested member, with the approval of the member so nominated, and submitted to the ISD office.
Committee appointments are made routinely upon request. For individuals seeking to serve as elected board members, the Association Nominating Committee will review all nominees for board election and will recommend approved candidates to the Board. Election of new Board Members is conducted by ballot, in accordance with the Association's by-laws.
Committees
The Executive Committee, chaired by the association president and including the officers and staff director, acts on behalf of the full Board of Directors between normally scheduled Board meetings. Under the leadership of the immediate past president, the committee oversees the annual nomination and election process, guided by Board approved procedures, to recruit eligible members to serve on the Board of Directors. The committee also manages the annual operating budget and the association’s investment portfolio and produces monthly and quarterly financial reports and the annual audit.
The Membership Committee oversees the development and delivery of a variety of educational member services. With the support of its vendor partners, ISD provides members with a competitive edge.
Through its support of collaborative efforts, including the Association Education Alliance and the University of Innovative Distribution, ISD is able to offer valuable training opportunities and access to important information and services.
ISD's Education Committee oversees and supports key association programs that leverage Distributor-Associate teaming to enable technical education for the membership, identifying areas where technical education, insights, etc. from our Associates would have the most impact and value for the membership. Deliverables include the Sealing Your Success e-Seminar series, and any technical content at the Summit.
Would you like to be a part of one of our committee's?
