| Creation of the Society
The Board of Directors holds ultimate authority over the society as representatives of the members. Twelve voting members and a variable number of ex-officio members meet at least annually. Board members serve six-year terms, staggered every two years (i.e., a third of the board is vacated and up for election in each odd-numbered year). Paid members suggest nominations to the nominating committee, which then chooses a slate (with the approval of the board) to be put to the members for election. The current voting members of the ISLS Board are:
Nancy Law
The University of Hong Kong
Paul Kirschner
Open University of the Netherlands
Cindy Hmelo-Silver
Rutgers University
Deborah Tatar
Virginia Tech
Frank Fischer
University of Munich
Susan Goldman
University of Illinois at Chicago
Brian Reiser
Northwestern University
Eleni Kyza
Cyprus University of Technology
Kristine Lund
Université de Lyon
Kimberly Gomez
University of Pittsburgh
Tim Koschmann
Southern Illinois University
Bill Sandoval

Committee chairs serve as ex-officio (non-voting) members, as does a representative from each journal and conference.
