The ISEA International foundation board is the governing body of ISEA. The primary role of the Board is to oversee the continuation of the annual symposia, build and maintain a comprehensive symposium archive. The Board meets via Skype and holds its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at each symposium, where it updates the public on its activities and invites organisations bidding for future symposia to present their proposals.
ISEA International extends its deep thanks to the Board members who served until the end of 2016: Peter Anders, Ian Clothier, Bonnie Mitchell, Wim van der Plas
We also welcome the new board members, who serve as from 1st January 2017:Ernest Edmonds( Chair) Mike Phillips ( Secretary) Anne Nigten (Treasurer), Pat Badani, Ricardo Dal Farra, Rob La Frenais and Roger Malina
