ISA works on behalf of your association and the broader sign, graphics and visual communications industry and is excited to share some details of our work. This web page is intended keep you, as an affiliate board member, up to date on ISA’s work and to provide you with a direct link to an ISA staff member who can help you learn more. ISA is grateful for the time and effort you devote to helping grow your affiliate, ISA, and the overall sign and graphics industry. We look forward to keeping you regularly updated on this page.
Thank You for Being a Member
In this season of gratitude, ISA staff and board want to say thank you to our Affiliate members, staff and boards. We appreciate the partnership and the local work that you do to help your member companies and the sign and graphics industry grow.
In 2025, ISA attended 10 affiliate meetings, presenting education sessions, discussing the benefits of ISA joint membership, and talking to boards. Our goal is to have ISA representation at each affiliate at least once every two years, to share how ISA is at work on your behalf and to hear what is occurring in your state and region. Questions?

ISA’s advocacy services benefit people like Cindy Proett with Lumineo. ISA is working to make sure that companies understand our code and advocacy work—a free member benefit. In the fall, ISA launched a series of video testimonials (like Cindy’s) and a new comic strip, Sign Guardians, to help share our codes and regulatory work, and help local companies succeed.
ISA is committed to supporting local sign companies by making workforce training more accessible and effective. We now offer six installation courses in Spanish to help members learn in their native language. These courses are part of our revamped on-demand library with 80+ courses and new content added regularly.
ISA affiliate members receive significant discounts on all training.

We work on behalf of local affiliated associations and their member companies to address regulations that impact your workforce, equipment, compliance costs, and ability to grow.
In 2025, ISA met with the Department of Labor (DOL), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as well as the Office of Management & Budget (OMB), the House Ways & Means Committee, and staff from House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office.

ISA webinars are a powerful local member benefit, equipping teams with the tools they need to stay competitive and compliant. Every webinar is available on-demand, so sign companies can access expert guidance whenever it fits their schedule.
Just a few that you might have missed in recent months:
ISA’s Annual Town Hall is an opportunity for all members to reflect on what was accomplished in 2025 and hear what’s ahead for 2026. And, perhaps best of all, connect with your peers in a series of breakout rooms. The Annual Town Hall is set for 2 p.m. ET Wednesday, December 10. Let us know you’re coming.
