Attention Members

Our Bylaws Need to Be Updated to Comply With ISM Bylaws

On January 14, 2010, the ISM membership approved the modification of ISM's Regular membership criteria to allow any person interested in the supply management field to be a Regular member of an Affiliated Association, provided that person does not solicit business on behalf of such person or his or her employer during meetings of any ISM activity. This modification removes the current restriction on persons who are primarily engaged in sales activity.

Please be aware that the ISM Board strongly advocates and stresses the continued restriction on using ISM Membership as a method of active solicitation or sales. Affiliate, Groups and Forums would be able to rightly enforce all restrictions on such activities.
