IASA

A chapter is a branch of the IASA in a country or city which provides guidance, leadership and services to the local professional body. Chapters operate with a minimum number of officers and hold a minimum number of meetings each year, according to IASA chapter standards. Chapters also provide reports to IASA Headquarters regarding membership, finances and operational plans.

 

Serve the community: promote the profession of IT Architecture in community organizations and publications

Promote member interaction: encourage the exchange of ideas among members

Provide training: on IT Architecture topics and the Common Body of Knowledge

Provide leadership opportunities: for members to enhance their career

 

Once an international chapter is chartered, it may eventually evolve to a country affiliate. The fully-functioning country affiliate is the primary source of ideas, services, and regulation of the country’s architecture profession and performs governance of all IASA chapters within that country. An IASA country affiliate may represent and provide for the needs of thousands of professional and aspiring architects and in addition, work with many of corporate partners in different cities. Country affiliates are the center of IT architecture in that country as well as the connection between its chapters, members and the global professional body through IASA Headquarters.
