​​The seminars and other programs offered at our annual summer meeting and winter conference include top-notch association management professionals, with topics such as membership recruiting and retention, nonprofit tax law, communications, lobbying, board and committee management, and much more. Our roundtable sessions provide an excellent source for members to share ideas with each other. Recognizing that budgets are always a challenge, ISHA is offering scholarships to members to attend the summer and winter conferences.

The application process is very simple and well worth taking advantage of. This scholarship program is intended for everyone. Those states with limited budgets whose executive directors are not typically able to attend should consider applying. Those states whose executive directors may be able attend should consider sending one or more key staff members who might also benefit from the conferences.
