About IASPA

Founded in 2006, IASPA connects and supports Illinois K–12 educational leaders responsible for human resources. We are the only statewide organization dedicated exclusively to school personnel administrators.

Our members include HR administrators, superintendents, principals, coordinators, assistants, and aspiring HR leaders. While our titles vary, our shared mission is the same: serving Illinois students, staff, and communities.

As an affiliate of the American Association of School Personnel Administrators, IASPA provides current HR insights through professional development events, newsletters, and online resources.

At our core, IASPA is built on connection. Networking is our strength, and active participation makes us stronger. We welcome you to get involved.

Executive Director: Dr. Kimberly C. Chambers
