ISSS Special Integration Groups
A Special Integration Group is not a Special Interest Group. See
Special Integration Groups Purpose.
Special Integration Groups may jointly focus on common interests (at a distance) over the year, and/or join in formal discussion at the annual meeting.
Groups congregating in designated sessions at an annual meeting may be placed into one of two categories:
-
SIGs represented in council, that have been ratified by the Board of Directors, and have scheduled at least one paper session within the past two annual meetings; and
-
Coordinated sessions, that share in an annual meeting, but may have organizational affilations independently of the ISSS.
For more information on SIGs, consult the ISSS Bylaws, section 4.10 .
