Membership Opportunities

IAPSS offers sitting superintendents an invaluable channel for collaboration and networking. Members gather by district and as a whole to share and work collectively on current issues, making planning and problem-solving more convenient and effective. Additionally, our collaboration with other professional organizations, universities, and business partners provides our members with greater benefits and outreach. Institutional members must hold a valid Indiana Superintendent’s license or hold district-level administrative responsibilities. Institutional members are entitled to attend all Association meetings, may hold office, and may vote on all questions.

Individuals serving in various leadership positions within an educational institution’s administrative team often express interest in one day serving as a superintendent. IAPSS is an excellent source of information for these future leaders. In addition to developing their own capacity, these leaders have myriad opportunities to contribute ideas and share their unique perspectives. Our Aspiring Superintendent members develop an understanding of the process of leading a district from the inside while learning from others' experiences. Aspiring Superintendent members may attend IAPSS seminars.

An Associate Membership provides an opportunity for those in some way related to K-12 education to keep current with trends and data, while interacting with peers. Any person engaged in K-12 education (with the exception of a district superintendent), including K-12 related college or university faculty/leadership and students in educational administration, may become an Associate Member. Associate Members have all the rights and privileges of Institutional Members, except the right to hold office, serve on a committee, vote, or attend meetings of the Executive Committee or executive sessions of the Association.

Our Retired Superintendent membership is a convenient way for district leaders who have concluded their traditional service to keep abreast of education-related issues for their district and the state. There is a tremendous opportunity for these members to pass along valuable historical knowledge, providing an excellent forum for mentoring.
