Background
Strategic planning has helped us develop a current mission, vision and goals to define the value of the association and our focus for the future. We reviewed external and internal issues that are likely to have an important impact
on IASB's work over the next 3 to 5 years, along with critical themes of importance, all of which helped drive the strategic framework of our operational plan. This is a fluid initiative with actions that will evolve each
year as we decide with members on priorities going forward.
IASB is the worldwide association of speaker agencies and bureaus, providing global leadership, expertise and standards of excellence for the speaker bureau industry since 1986.
