Contribute to your leadership role for Illinois schools and speak with one voice

By becoming a member of IASPA, you are contributing to the leadership of Illinois’ schools. Membership is open to those professionals involved in school personnel, human resources, or other school/employee relations work. The membership year is July 1 through June 30; to view the current membership options, see the IASPA membership categories below.
