AISA

Design Teams

The AISA Design Teams are made up of highly skilled and passionate program directors and leads from AISA schools. They are selected for their deep knowledge and extensive experience in designing, delivering, and evaluating professional learning and program supports within international education systems. Generously volunteering their time, these teams play a vital role in organizing our annual conference and year-round programs. We sincerely thank the Design Team members for their dedicated service.
