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 ZOOM 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 welcomes new Board members, who serve from July 1st, 2022: Erandy Vergara (Chair), Everardo Reyes (Secretary), and Lisa Park SoYoung.
They occupy positions previously held by Ernest Edmonds, Mike Phillips, and Rob La Frenais. We extend our deep thanks to these three Board members who served between 2017 and 2022.
We also welcome Jeremiah Ambrose (University of Creative Arts – UK) as ISEA’s Headquarters Director as of July 1st, 2022. Sue Gollifer will also be active in this role until August 2022 and will then be acting as Board Councilor, supporting the Board and the new HQ.
Over the coming year the Board will review ISEA’s operation and strategy. It will set a path forward that, building on its strong history, provides a sustainable and exciting future.
