ISHA Membership Committee

The ISHA Membership Committee deals with all matters relating to membership administration, including reviewing membership applications and proposing members for Honorary and Emeritus Membership, and works continually to grow ISHA’s member numbers, awareness and outreach around the world.

The Membership Committee would like to thank the other ISHA Committees for their continued work in offering value to members, which helps to retain and build the Society’s membership year on year.
