ISBA Annual Calendar

Each year ISBA Officers and members of several Standing Committees have required duties at specific dates. As an aid in planning, we have tried to gather many of those recurring duties here in the form of a yearly calendar. Duties fall to: BofD: Elected Board, C&BL: Constitution and Bylaws Committee, Edit: Editors, Exec: Executive Committee, NomC: Nominations Committee, PgmC: Program Committee, PrEl: President-Elect, Pres: President, PzCm: Prize Committee, Tres: Treasurer, WebM: Webmaster, XSec: Executive Secretary. Asterisk "*" indicates items that may not occur every year. Suggested calendar items may be sent to the webmaster or Executive Secretary.
