In 1986, the International Group Of Agencies & Bureaus (IGAB) was founded by Ms. Dottie Walters. In July 2000, the IGAB Board of Governors voted to form a separate organization called the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB). In 2002, IGAB merged with IASB. IASB became incorporated as a nonprofit organization in Indiana on July 1, 2002. In 2010, the organization moved its headquarters to Arizona.
