Chair Message

As an industry and as an organization, we’ve had so much excitement and activity this year. And there is no slow down in sight.

Not only are we gearing up for our Fall Forum, which is right around the corner in September, but we’re also preparing enhancements to the ISITC brand. We’ll have more to say on this in Baltimore during the Forum.

But that’s not all. We continue to elevate our visibility and thought leadership within the industry. Key trade media continue to rely on ISITC as a respected source of information on a variety of crucial issues. This is because our membership consists of proven, subject matter experts – that’s you.

Editors and reporters regularly seek our insights on topics such as T+1, AI and digital assets, sustainability and more. ISITC has been featured in numerous articles this year. Our membership continues to grow at a rapid pace. We continue to enhance and adapt our working groups to address the new issues that impact our industry. 

However, one thing is clear. None of this growth would be possible if it wasn’t for the support and dedication of our membership. You are making the difference!

It is thanks to you that there have been more than 10 articles in key publications that featured ISITC this year. It is thanks to you that our quarterly newsletter and social media presence are at their highest engagement levels. It is thanks to you that the number of users visiting the website have increased more than 100% in the past year. It is thanks to you that our membership continues to rise.

But there’s a catch. Now that we’re setting the bar so high, it’s that much more crucial that we all stay engaged. It’s clear that ISITC has a meaningful role in the industry…and you have a meaningful role in ISITC.

Speaking of engagement, I hope you’ll consider attending our Fall Forum. It will be an outstanding opportunity for knowledge-sharing on crucial topics, networking and cultivating your professional relationships.

Together, let’s continue to raise the bar.
