How to Get Involved
The YP Committee is a group of young professional leaders under the age of 35 that report directly to the ISA Executive Board. We are a group that can bring forth ideas and affect change in the society. We work with multiple groups in ISA to implement change as well as create our own objectives and activities targeted for YPs.
If this committee sounds like something you would like to get involved with, please apply to join the 2025 committee!
Please note: we are an ISA member only committee. Make sure your ISA membership is up-to-date and if you are not a member, please join to get involved in the YP Committee.
