UPDATE: ISSA International 40th Anniversary Event and 2025 Awards Gala A Message from the Board: Thank you to everyone for their input this year regarding the ISSA International 40th Anniversary Event! We are all excited to see everyone and gather together for the Anniversary. To that end, and due to a variety of factors and input from our membership, The ISSA International Board of Directors has decided to push the date of the event to the fall (likely early September) to be more convenient for everyone and allow for comfortable travel plans. The location will be the same and more information will be available in the coming months. We hope this is welcome news and look forward to seeing everyone in the fall! ?
