ALEXANDRIA, VA – January 23, 2024– With an understanding that many voices make for the best decisions, the International Sign Association’s board of directors has appointed three steering committees to advise them throughout 2024.
The steering committees represent the three main categories of ISA memberships: affiliated associations, which represent local companies who join at the affiliate level; national sign companies who join ISA directly; and suppliers and distributors.
“Through the years, we’ve realized many benefits from having a diversity of voices at the table,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “The ISA board of directors has a better feel for what is occurring for all of our members because of the work of these steering committee members. We’re so grateful that they share their knowledge and invest their time for the benefit of the sign, graphics, visual communication and print industry.”
