Organizational Structure

• Authority is vested in a General Assembly of the members, which meets at our biennial conferences, and a Council , which meets more often as needed.

• An Executive Committee , consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary General, and Treasurer, handles issues that arise between Council meetings.

• The SISR President is elected for a four-year term. Two years before this term expires, members elect a Vice-President, who will succeed the President. The Secretary General is also elected for a four-year term, as is the Treasurer. 

• Council members are elected for four-year terms from each of several countries or regions active in the ISSR. Elections are staggered in order to provide institutional continuity.

• The ISSR also sponsors a New Researcher's Forum , for postgraduate students and recent PhDs regardless of age. To join their mailing list, click here.
