Volunteer Opportunities
ISPI has many development opportunities to work closely with the Society and gain new professional and personal experiences. Volunteers can expand their network of contacts as they interact with other Performance Improvement professionals. The purpose of the ISPI Network is to link ISPI members with development opportunities within the Society. ISPI volunteers have the opportunity to:
- Use and expand their professional skills and knowledge.
- Participation in Community Service Programs.
- Build relationships within their professional community.
- Strengthen the field by strengthening the organization that best represents the field.
