The Intl. Sign Assn. (ISA) Board of Directors has voted to approve 16 regional sign associations as official ISA Affiliated Associations. Local sign companies, which previously would have become both ISA members and regional association members, can now join an ISA Affiliated Association and, as part of that membership, also receive an ISA membership and all the programs and services it offers. To become an official ISA Affiliated Association, each regional association must meet certain criteria, and its board of directors must vote to pursue the designation.
In a press release, ISA stated, "This is a key step in an ongoing ISA effort to develop a new membership structure that will: better serve sign company members, increase the synergy between local associations and ISA, and strengthen the industry as a whole by developing a common direction and voice."
The 16 official Affiliated Associations of ISA are:
Arizona Sign Assn.
California Sign Assn.
Colorado Sign Assn.
Illinois Sign Assn.
Mid South Sign Assn.
Midwest Sign Assn.
