IASA

With the IASA 2.0 model, regions evolve from a role of local presence and point of contact to being the executive arm of the association in the region, with its own resources, advanced infrastructure, controlling attributions, overseeing the activity of the country and city chapters within the geographical area. Members do not directly register under a region, but their local IASA experience benefits of the hierarchical configuration allowing direct access to regional and global services and programs implemented locally.

Some of the regions are well on their way developing the chapters and connecting IT architects in the area, while others have just started on the path toward self-sustainability and resounding success. There is redundancy in all the processes, in the sense that no member is left hanging, no matter how well the chapters, country affiliate or the regional office handles the membership. There is at least one level of organization already at the required level of membership culture, ready to listen and address issues.
