ISN leadership is made up of several core groups, each playing a vital role in advancing our mission, as described in the ISN bylaws.
Executive committee
Works alongside the ISN council to define and lead the organization’s vision, mission, and values, focusing on long-term strategies to ensure successful and sustainable outcomes.
Council
Comprises regional board chairs and deputy chairs from each of the 10 ISN regions who work alongside the executive committee to shape policies and governance.
Regional boards
The 10 regional boards monitor and report on activities worldwide and build relationships with ISN Affiliated societies. ISN members are allocated to an ISN region according to their country of residence.
