www.iasaedu.orgThe Illinois Association of School
Administrators is the premier advocacy
organization for school administrators
in the state. Since 1946, the IASA has
offered Illinois school administrators
the opportunity to join with colleagues
throughout the state to improve the
quality of public education in Illinois
and to maintain the high standards of
their profession.
To encourage networking, the
state has been divided into 21 IASA
Regions. Each region schedules
regular meetings at the local level.
Each region also selects or elects
individuals to represent their region
on the IASA Board of Directors and to
serve as representatives on IASA’s five
representative committees.
IASA is a state-chartered association
of the American Association of
School Administrators (AASA). The two
associations work cooperatively in
a number of endeavors to serve the
needs of members in the local, state
and national arenas. IASA members
are encouraged to join the AASA
and to become active members in
its programs and services, but dual
membership is not a requirement.
The IASA is involved in many things
from child advocacy to lobbying,
and from publications to professional
development programs. However
our main goal is individual member
care and service, including personal
counseling and mentoring as well as
access to confidential contract and
credential reviews.
