Volunteerism in the Kentucky Chapter, ISA

Since the organization’s inception in 1974, volunteers have powered the Chapter's growth.  Active participation by members provides them with opportunities for personal and professional development.  Volunteers are crucial to the success of the Chapter.  The Chapter Board of Directors (“Board”) recruits, trains, and recognizes volunteers for their valuable contributions to the Chapter, profession and public.  KAA welcomes all volunteers to our Board Meeting!  See our Calendar of Events  for meeting dates and times.
