The ISP needs your help
Information Systems Professionals of BC holders, here's your chance to get involved, learn new skills, and/or put your energy towards useful pursuits! If we as a society are going to be successful at advancing professionalism with the Information Systems Professional designation, we will need YOUR help.
Would you like to help BUT don't think you have the time? Well, see how your schedule fits in with our volunteer activities in the table below. You can choose just one activity or jump right in and become a Director on the Executive - your choice. Or, maybe you have other ideas that could help even more. Get more information by contacting the respective Director. If you don't yet have your ISP designation, you may still be able to help.
