These skills are also valuable when applied in the professional work setting. By the end of the LDP, participants will be able to develop goals for applying leadership knowledge and skills to professional and volunteer roles. Learn more about this program and apply today!
  • ISHA members are welcome and encouraged to join ISHA committees.  Participation in committee work provides the opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the state, share knowledge, advocate for change and progress, and provide guidance on issues impacting the professions.  Those ISHA members interested in joining any one of the numerous ISHA committees should complete the Volunteer for ISHA form.
