About the Board
The members of the board of directors are interested in hearing from and connecting with the ISTE+ASCD community. Our Engagement Committee helps us stay apprised of member opinions and perspectives and identify trends and issues that matter to members.
The committee meets regularly to address this feedback and uses it to inform organizational decision-making, direction, and initiatives, as well as to evaluate how best to keep members updated regarding the board’s work.
