Special Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are chartered by IACEE's Council to give members with similar professional specialties and interests the opportunity to exchange ideas and keep themselves informed about current and discrete developments in their fields. The primary goal of the IACEE SIGs is to create professional development opportunities for the membership through networking activities, collaborative projects, speakers, virtual roundtables, and so on.

The activities of the SIGs, planned by their members and Chair, provide a clear indication of the diverse interests and needs of IACEE members. Through participation in SIGs, members can help design what, in essence, are small professional organizations within the broader international community. Only IACEE members can belong to SIGs, though each IACEE member can belong to as many SIGs as desired.

Here are the three current SIG choices:
