Each month, one member is selected and featured: an email goes to the contacts on file, the school’s name and logo appear in the newsletter, a linked blog post is published on the ISLA website, and a related social post is shared.

Before you begin: obtain your log-in information, check for emails from ISLA, and prepare your job-ad flyer, organization logo, and a brief description of the position(s).
