Expected Commitment

While serving as a SIG leader is a high-commitment opportunity, SIG projects vary widely and so does the amount of time commitment needed to participate.

Leadership Responsibilities

The exact responsibilities of each role and the combined leadership team will vary by SIG, but in general, a SIG’s leadership team is responsible for:

• Promoting SIG engagement and communicating with the SIG membership.
• Overseeing SIG activities and projects according to the SIG’s mission and vision statements.
• Working with the ISOQOL office and project volunteers to gain leadership approval or navigate submission processes for public-facing SIG projects (publications, symposia, etc.).
• Reviewing and updating the SIG’s mission and vision statements as needed.
• Recruiting future SIG leadership and project volunteers.
• Maintaining continuity and institutional knowledge through leadership transitions.
• Developing the agenda for the in-person SIG meeting at the ISOQOL Annual Conference and ensuring that a SIG leader or other volunteer is present to lead the meeting.
