IASA Annual Report FY2017

about

The Illinois Association of School Administrators is the premier advocacy organization for school administrators in the state. Since 1946, the IASA has offered Illinois school administrators the opportunity to join with colleagues throughout the state to improve the quality of public education in Illinois and to maintain the high standards of their profession. To encourage networking, the state has been divided into 21 IASA Regions. Each region schedules regular meetings at the local level. Each region also selects or elects individuals to represent their region on the IASA Board of Directors and to serve as representatives on IASA’s five representative committees. IASA is a state-chartered association of the American Association of School Administrators (AASA). The two associations work cooperatively in a number of endeavors to serve the needs of members in the local, state and national arenas. IASA members are encouraged to join the AASA and to become active members in its programs and services, but dual membership is not a requirement. The IASA is involved in many things from child advocacy to lobbying, and from publications to professional development programs. However our main goal is individual member care and service, including personal counseling and mentoring as well as access to confidential contract and credential reviews.
