be set by the Executive Committee and found in the Operations Handbook.
Affiliate Organizations shall have one vote in the affairs of ISPA. The
executive body of an Affiliate Organization shall inform the ISPA Executive
Secretary of the name of the member having the authority to represent
the Organization at the General Assembly. This shall be done in writing
and remain in effect until a written amendment is made.
Mission Partner. Organizations whose members are professionals
working in schools and/or education and do not meet the criteria for affiliate
membership, are eligible as Mission Partners, providing there is reasonable
overlap between their mission statements, goals and ethical principles
