ISIG Meetings (mornings & evenings*)

ISIG = Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group

Show-up and engage at the many opportunities with the ACRM INTERDISCIPLINARY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS (ISIGs). These typically are the longest-running and largest of the ACRM family of Community Groups. Don’t let their abbreviations scare you; new members are wanted & welcomed. ISIGs operate with their own executive committee and are comprised of Task Forces — each focused on a specific topic or project. As an ACRM member, you may participate in existing task forces or propose and lead the development of a new one.

*Exception: the BI-ISIG (Brain Injury ISIG) will not meet in the mornings or evenings. Instead, the BI-ISIG annual Summit will be Thursday 22 OCT 12:30 – 1:45PM.
