Past ISEE Board Members 

About Board Term Structure (Important Note)

In 2021, ISEE revised its Constitution, which included changes to Board term alignment and rotation. Beginning with the December 2021 elections (effective January 2022), Board terms transitioned to the current structure in which:

  • Five ordinary Board members rotate each year.
  • Terms begin on January 1 following the election.
  • Officers continue to serve in their established multi-year President-Elect → President → Past-President sequence.


As a result, the grouping of Board members on this page reflects the Board as constituted in each calendar year, beginning in 2022, consistent with the revised governance structure.
