Community Service Award
IASB recognizes Member companies for their engagement in their local, regional and/or global community.  The objectives of this award are to:
  • Increase awareness of the ways in which members make a difference.
  • Recognize members who have made a contribution to their community within the past 12 months. 

IASB members may nominate themselves by completing an online form which asks for a brief narrative as well as a short informal video (2-5 minutes) of your team talking about your community service activities. Learn More
