Message from the President

Greetings from the ISM—Austin Board!

Texas summer is here again with scorching temperatures and high humidity. Just a friendly reminder to be careful when outside and make sure to stay hydrated. Despite the heat, the Board and Events committee continues to work hard planning new events and educational opportunities. As we finalize topics, speakers and dates, additional information will be available on our website. Please check the upcoming events section for more details and registration links. We hope to see you at an upcoming event.

There are a few Board and committee positions available so if interested in joining the Board, please contact any of the Board members. We are also available to answer any questions about membership or ISM-Austin activities. Speaking of membership, please ensure your membership is in good standing. This will guarantee you will receive all ISM-Austin communications and not miss out on any upcoming opportunities and activities.

If you have travel plans this summer, safe travels. Stay well and healthy.
