Suggestions are welcome from members for new projects and initiatives which will benefit the profession.Organisation of SPA:
SPA's work is carried out by a Steering Committee of up to 15 members who are elected by the SPA member associations at the SPA Plenary Assembly during the quadrennial congress of ICA.How to join SPA:
