Sample Copies of Representative Governing Instruments

Attached as Exhibit ____ through ____ are governing instruments of the Section.

The purposes, activities and finances of the _____________ Section are similar to the central ISA.

The activities described below are all related to their function, namely, to "advance and reinforce

the arts and sciences related to the theory, design, manufacture and use of instrumentation,

computers and systems for measurement and control in the various sciences and technologies for

the benefit of mankind".

Any revenue gained by these activities and programs is used to cover the costs of those same

programs, or to help fund other exempt functions of the Section. These functions may be

summarized as follows:

Fairs: The _____________ Section proposes to sponsor at least one instrument

fair yearly. The fair is an exhibition, where instrument suppliers display their

products. The proceeds from these fairs are used by the Section to cover its

costs in producing the fair, which often requires renting Exhibition space. All

fairs are open to the public free of charge, or for a token charge. The fair

actually serves as an integral part of the simultaneous technical conferences and

symposia.

Technical Lectures and Symposia: All Section meetings involve a lecture on

some topic involving the advances in instrument technology. Lecturers are often

brought in from the local area, and lectures often are open to the general public.

The lectures are free of charge, and cover technical or scientific topics.

Educational Courses: The _____________ Section plans to sponsor educational

courses on aspects of instrument technology. The Section may offer the course

on its own, or jointly through a local educational institution. To participate in

these courses, a fee is required. Fees are used to cover the cost of organizing the

course, including texts and study materials. The courses are open to anyone

interested, including the public.

Seminars: The _____________ Section also plans to offer seminars that may

cover a two or three day period. These seminars are open to the public and

include numerous technical and scientific lectures and topics of discussion. The

fees charged for these seminars vary; most of the time ISA members are charged

somewhat less than non-members.

Scholarship Awards: The _____________ Section also plans to offer

scholarships to deserving students pursuing a career in the instrument

technology field. The amount of each scholarship may be anywhere from $200

to $1500. The money for scholarships usually comes from excess funds which

the Section has accumulated from its fairs and training programs.
