The ISIS 7-year business plan 

The International Species Information System (ISIS) has supported the data needs of the global 

zoo and aquarium community for 30 years. Now, ISIS is committed to providing a higher level 

of support and service to its members and supporting a modern information system – Zoological 

Information Management System (ZIMS)


The ISIS Vision 

ISIS delivers and supports the world’s most current, comprehensive and reliable source of information 

on animals and their environments for zoos, aquariums and related organizations to serve institutional, 

regional and global animal management and conservation goals. 

The ISIS Mission 

It is the mission of ISIS to facilitate international collaboration in the collection and sharing of 

information on animals and their environments for zoos, aquariums and related organizations by: 

– Supporting, maintaining and ensuring the continuous development of comprehensive 

zoological software systems. 

– Providing services that are essential for members and prospective members to manage the 

animals in their care. 

– Serving as an independent, impartial body, which promotes the development of standards and 

practices that enhance the integrity and usefulness of data on animals and their environments. 

– Obtaining the highest possible participation in data collection and sharing for zoos, aquariums 

and related organizations worldwide. 

– Planning and managing the resources (human, financial and technological) needed to 

meet all of these goals. 

ISIS Values and Beliefs 

– We value the use of objective data to benefit conservation, science, animal welfare, education 

and collection management. 

– We believe that our mission can best be served by openly sharing our animal data. 

– We acknowledge our responsibility to insure our animal data is accurate, complete 

and up-to-date. 

– We value integrity and honesty in the provision, analysis and interpretation 

of our animal data. 

– We value continuous improvement of our management software through an open process. 

– We believe that an inclusive approach to membership is important to the achievement 

of our mission. 

– We value a diversity of management and conservation approaches, as represented 

within our membership. 

– We believe that global cooperation will help us to achieve our goals. 

The ISIS Board of Trustees has developed and approved this vision, mission, values and beliefs statement, April 2003.

The global zoo and aquarium community uses information management systems to track their 

collections for animal welfare, management and conservation. Access to animal information directly 

affects the daily operations of zoological organizations committed to conservation. Accurate, current, 

comprehensive information contributes to the well-being and survival of 10,000 species in 

living collections. 

For 30 years, ISIS has supported the broader conservation community with four generations of software 

for worldwide animal inventory, veterinary record keeping, studbook applications and other uses. 

Now, rapid advances in information technology offer enormous new opportunities to carry the ISIS 

mission further. 

The ISIS Board has approved this business plan to sustain ISIS operations, grow membership and ensure 

the successful delivery of the ISIS Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) application, a 

global animal management system that will enhance local care and international conservation efforts. 

ISIS has restructured its Board of Trustees to more broadly represent the global zoo and aquarium 

community and to facilitate technical and scientific committees. 

In addition, the board has restructured the organization to provide stronger technical support, training, 

professional database administration, better communications and stronger financial development. The 

board has also approved expansion of the ISIS management team. 

Because the majority of ISIS resources come from member dues, the ISIS Board approved a restructured 

member dues schedule beginning in 2004. While a revenue increase was essential for 2004, this business 

plan shows that continued membership growth and sustained external fund-raising should hold any 

further member dues increases to just inflation for the next seven years. Member dues now total 

US $1.4 million per year, but were less than US $1 million per year through 2003. 

To raise funds for development and deployment of ZIMS, ISIS is conducting a capital 

campaign – Building ZIMS: The Campaign for ISIS. 

The ZIMS effort is based on extraordinary global cooperation among zoos, aquariums and related 

organizations – achieved because of their commitment to wildlife; catalyzed through ISIS as an 

international, non-profit organization. As part of building ZIMS, almost 500 individuals, representing 

almost 200 institutions worldwide have come together to contribute their time and ideas to the 

project – and we are continuing to recruit more volunteers. 

Executive summary

History of ISIS 

ISIS began in 1973 when Professor Ulysses S. Seal and a small group of veterinarians, scientists and 

zoo leaders developed a vision for a global animal information system that would serve zoos and 

aquariums. In the beginning, the Minnesota Zoological Garden generously served as the “enterprise 

incubator” for ISIS. The American Zoo & Aquarium Association (AZA), the American Association of 

Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV) and other zoological associations provided grants and encouragement. 

ISIS began operations in 1974 with 55 member institutions (mostly in North America) and an 

international vision, mission and name. Through 30 years, membership has grown at an average of 

20 new institutional members per year, and expanded globally. Currently, ISIS has 630 members in 

more than 70 countries on six continents. In 2004 alone, 50 new members joined ISIS. 

In 1989, ISIS transformed from a self-funded department of the Minnesota Zoological Garden into 

an international, member-owned, non-profit organization governed by the internationally elected 

ISIS Board of Trustees. (See Appendix A for a list of current ISIS Board members.) 

The history of ISIS can be seen as a 30-year “proof of concept.” ISIS staff has often been told “global 

cooperation cannot be done.” Nevertheless, it IS being done! Through a mix of internal development 

and outsourcing, ISIS has supported four generations of software for worldwide animal inventory, 

veterinary record keeping, studbook applications and other uses, used by a steadily growing global network. 

ISIS has played a key role in establishing standards and sharing globally pooled specimen records 

among the zoo and aquarium community. ISIS has helped zoos and aquariums cooperate more than 

comparable organizations, like botanical gardens and museums, in data management, software 

development and global data sharing. This has many advantages, and has saved ISIS member 

institutions the very considerable costs of developing such tools individually. 

While the ISIS membership network has continuously expanded, limited ISIS resources have 

slowed technical progress. For most of the history of ISIS, there has been one staff person for about 

50 institutions served. This thrifty approach kept costs down, but at times in the past resulted in 

long waits for technical service, inadequate training and restricted services. 

The majority of the organization’s resources come from member dues, which now total US $1.4 million 

per year, but were less than US $1 million annually before 2004. ISIS has relied substantially on more 

than 70 grants and contracts, which have been generated by the organization’s small staff. 

(A partial list of these grants is printed in Appendix C.) 

Now, rapid advances in information technology offer enormous opportunities to carry the ISIS mission 

further, serving the global zoo and aquarium community and wildlife conservation through effective, 

current information sharing. Hence, ISIS has restructured its Board of Trustees, strengthened its internal 

management team, and expanded and professionalized user technical support, adding essential staff 

capacity to manage the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) Project. 

ISIS is committed to further changes as needed to serve its members. As one measure of these changes, 

there is now one ISIS staff person per 30 institutional members – improving the level of service ISIS provides. 

To pay for these essential changes, the ISIS Board approved a restructured member dues schedule effective 

from 2004. In addition, ISIS is conducting a capital campaign Building ZIMS: The Campaign for ISIS to 

raise funds for development and deployment of ZIMS.

More than 600 million people (many of them young children) visit zoos and aquariums each year. 

As these visitors experience more than 10,000 living species, they learn to care about wildlife and 

appreciate biodiversity on land, in oceans and in freshwater. The animals in the care of these 

institutions become urban ambassadors for wildlife. 

Zoos and aquariums have important cultural and recreational roles, and serve as conservation and 

research institutions. Knowledge gained in zoological settings often helps conserve wild populations. 

Because only about four percent of the world's land surface is protected, natural habitats for many 

species disappear or become untenable. When this happens, zoos and aquariums often represent 

self-sustaining communities for the preservation and conservation of wildlife species. A handful of 

species have already become extinct in the wild and have been re-introduced from zoo populations. 

Since 1974, ISIS has fostered information sharing to aid wildlife among 630 institutions in more than 

70 countries. The ISIS network is growing rapidly. The goal is to include all professionally managed 

zoos and aquariums in the world as ISIS members. 

An easy-to-use global ISIS software system (ZIMS) will help all zoos and aquariums identify best 

practices in animal management. As a result, our community will provide improved care for 

individual animals, and the status of animal populations will improve. 

Today, most wildlife veterinarians work in zoos, aquariums and a few leading national parks. ISIS 

provides valuable tools to these veterinarians by collecting experience and information from hundreds 

of thousands of individual animals globally. This knowledge, which is unprecedented for many 

species, is essential to the animal’s care and survival. 

More and more of this knowledge is used to help manage the survival of wild populations and 

sustain zoo populations. Zoos and aquariums generate important knowledge about veterinary 

medicine, including finding effective and appropriate anesthesia drugs and doses, genetics, 

demography, behavior, aquatic chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and treatments for various 

wildlife diseases. This knowledge improves animal welfare and contributes to conservation. 

Conservation management

Expanding membership globally 

Through 30 years of building global relationships, ISIS has developed a worldwide network of 

cooperation, created animal data standards and accumulated a unique archive of specimen 

information on nearly 2 million animals of 10,000 species. 

Membership in ISIS has grown every year for more than 30 years. Each new ISIS member institution 

adds data that (1) completes many individual animal histories and pedigrees that connect with data 

on animals at other ISIS member institutions, and (2) brings us closer to providing comprehensive 

information on the global zoo and aquarium wildlife population. 

Today, 630 zoos, aquariums and related organizations share information about their animals through 

the existing ISIS system. (See Appendix F for a list of ISIS members.) However, there are at least 1,200 

zoological institutions involved in national and regional zoological associations, and numerous other 

organizations involved in hands-on animal care and conservation across the globe. Through upgraded 

services and targeted marketing and communications efforts, ISIS plans to attract many new members 

over the next seven years. 

One of the major opportunities for expanding ISIS membership is aquariums. While over half of 

the world’s recognized zoos are members of ISIS, only a small percent of the world’s aquariums are 

members as of 2004. More than 400 aquariums could potentially become members of ISIS. Because 

aquariums are breeding seahorses and other threatened taxa, expanding their conservation programs, 

they need access to a global pool of data on best practices for husbandry, veterinary care, water 

management, etc. Some aquariums have very substantial financial resources, and many recognize 

the need for standard and sophisticated animal and environment information systems. 

ISIS has had very limited market share among aquariums because ISIS has not had products and 

services developed for their specialized needs, nor the resources to develop them. The new Zoological 

Information Management System (ZIMS) will change that by including significant functionality 

identified as important by aquariums. We are finding aquarium partners for our capital campaign 

Building ZIMS: The Campaign for ISIS and will broaden recruiting efforts among aquariums as the new 

products and services become tangible. 

ISIS has already accomplished many of the more challenging marketing objectives for such an effort. 

We have achieved global name recognition, which has helped bring a good part of our community on 

board. ISIS will become the central data source for animal management data by adding staff and 

resources; committing to inclusive processes and comprehensive coverage, and soliciting help from 

ISIS partners around the world. 

Together, we can build trust, exchange ideas, find solutions for differing problems in different regions 

and bring the other half of those involved in hands-on animal care of wildlife species into the ISIS 

global network. 

As the ISIS network continues to expand, more information is available to each member, and the fixed 

costs of ISIS operation can be shared across a larger number of members. Both of these advantages 

will be increasingly important as we develop and support ZIMS.

The ISIS Board of Trustees reviewed restructuring ideas generated through ISIS Future Search 2000 and 

two ad hoc Global Animal Data Group meetings of stakeholders. The ISIS Board responded by substantially 

modifying its structure, the ISIS Bylaws, and supporting changes throughout the organization. 

The ISIS Board is now larger. Depending on appointments made by the board itself, the board could 

include up to 26 members. The new board structure includes zoo, aquarium and regional associations, 

and may include conservation organizations and supportive corporations as formal partners of ISIS. 

The board has also added membership categories to include these regional and professional associations 

and other external partners. 

ISIS has set up two new board-level advisory committees – the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) 

and the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) in response to stakeholder requests for the best 

scientific and technical advice. The SAC and TAC will facilitate international cooperation among ISIS 

members and other experts in these areas. These committee chairs serve on the ISIS Board of Trustees. 

These board-level changes will allow ISIS to most effectively fulfill its mission and coordinate with key 

partners worldwide. (See Appendix A for ISIS Board member list; Appendix B for organizational chart.) 

Restructuring ISIS: Board and bylaws

Restructuring ISIS: Operations 

In response to member needs, the ISIS Board approved changes to the ISIS operations structure. These 

changes include stronger technical support and training, professional database administration, better 

communications and stronger financial development. 

ISIS has strengthened its support staff and added two new management-level positions: a chief 

technology officer for the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) Project, and a 

communications and marketing coordinator. 

In addition, ISIS has hired a business systems analyst, brought in technology consultants and recruited 

hundreds of volunteers to serve on various ZIMS development teams. ISIS has signed a contract with a 

major software development firm, CGI, to build ZIMS. 

This new operational structure improves the organization’s service level and provides structured 

departments headed by professionals to manage, support, communicate globally and lead training 

for a modern, global ZIMS.

In order for the organization to strengthen its services and operations through increased professional 

services, ISIS found it critical to increase its resources, which are generated primarily through member 

dues. These resources help pay for technical support and basic operating costs. Increased resources are 

also necessary to give ISIS the capacity to support the Zoological Information Management System 

(ZIMS) once the system is built. 

To assess members in a reasonable and fair way, ISIS assembled budget information from as many 

members as possible (457 members; about 75 percent of ISIS membership).

We found that: 

– Member budgets vary enormously; the range is 10,000 fold! 

– The sum of all members’ budgets is approximately US $2.4 billion 

– Approximately 20 percent of ISIS member institutions have budgets over US $10 million 

– Approximately 40 percent of ISIS member institutions have US $1-10 million budgets 

– Approximately 40 percent of ISIS member institutions have budgets smaller than US $1 million 

– Approximately 100 of the smallest organizations have budgets below US $250,000 (These 

members pay ISIS more than 0.1 percent of their general operating budgets, the highest relative 

rates paid by any member) 

– 0.1 percent of ISIS members’ budgets would be US $2.4 million 

– ISIS membership amounts to less than one-tenth of one percent of many institution’s budgets 

Based on these findings, the ISIS Board approved a restructured member fee schedule. The new 

member fee schedule, which was instituted for 2004, is printed in Appendix E. 

Restructuring ISIS: Membership dues

Restructuring ISIS: Membership dues 

Access to up-to-date, comprehensive data from as many of the world’s zoos, aquariums and related 

organizations as possible is to the advantage of all ISIS members – large and small. Therefore, we must 

assure that 1) costs are shared equitably among our members and 2) that membership is accessible to 

institutions in both the developed and developing worlds. To assure access, the ISIS Board has set the 

minimum annual fee at the estimated marginal cost to ISIS of serving one additional institution. 

Starting in 2004, ISIS generated approximately US $1.4 million annually from membership. This is 

almost 50 percent more than member revenues in 2003. While this revenue increase was essential, this 

business plan projects that member dues should increase only for inflation in the next seven years. 

Based on continued membership growth and external fund-raising, member dues should increase only 

as depicted below.

professional services and technical support to meet member demands for a more forward-looking 

organization. The organization’s upgraded technical support infrastructure improves support for 

current services and prepares ISIS to support the new ZIMS.

Building ZIMS: The next generation of ISIS software 

Preserving genetic diversity and maintaining demographic stability in wildlife populations requires 

careful information-intensive management of the combined populations of animals held in zoos, 

aquariums and related organizations worldwide. The high-quality, timely, comprehensive ISIS 

Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) will meet many of these communities’ needs, 

and meet or exceed national and international regulatory requirements. 

ZIMS will maintain information on animals in zoos, conservation-breeding centers and some 

animals in wild populations. The ZIMS application will better address the needs of aquariums, 

where sophisticated, data-intense environmental information management is necessary to manage 

large groups of hard-to-distinguish individuals. 

The ZIMS Phase I will be a powerfully-architected animal inventory and veterinary system, building on 

and replacing the current ISIS software systems. ISIS members’ data on the ISIS system (and in ISIS 

software: ARKS, MedARKS, SPARKS, EGGS, etc.) will be loaded into ZIMS. Members will be able to 

retrieve the information in ZIMS both graphically and numerically with easy-to-use query tools. ZIMS 

will be available through the World Wide Web. 

In addition, ZIMS will help our community protect its animals from disease by tracking both 

well-known, and new and emerging animal diseases around the world. This is an important new 

aspect of ZIMS – there is currently no comprehensive system meeting these needs. 

Once the first phase of ZIMS has been completed and deployed, we will begin to explore other areas 

that have been identified by our members, such as nutrition and behavior. We will continue to reach 

out to our members for their advice and guidance on future phases of the ZIMS application. 

As ISIS technology improves, the provenance, history and pedigree of individual specimens will 

become more accurately documented. The genetic, demographic and disease status of more than 

10,000 animal populations will be monitored and available to ISIS members in multiple languages. 

The ZIMS Project is both technologically modern and geographically ambitious. ZIMS is the most 

globally distributed Microsoft .NET project currently known to be under development in the world. 

While there are projects with much larger budgets, the information technology industry is not aware 

of any other undertakings with the global reach of our ZIMS Project. 

Almost 500 individuals from 200 organizations have contributed to this powerful idea of ZIMS. 

Building on the previous 30 years, a clear and powerful vision of the future is in our community’s 

hands, and we are committed to working with our community to reach it. 

12-13


The following model of the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) development process 

was developed to serve as a projection for the project, not as a budget. 

Assumptions of the model: 

– Assuming continued membership growth, increases in ISIS membership fee revenue will be 

limited to inflation adjustments of not more than 5% per year. 

– We will fully develop the aquarium membership category. 

– We will be successful in our “friends and family” portion of our capital 

campaign (Goal: US $5 million). 

– We will seek new revenue opportunities. 

– We will gain increased revenue from government and foundation grants (although on a 

percentage basis these grants will account for less of the larger overall operating budget – from 

30% down to 20%). 

– The Animal Records Keeping System (ARKS), the Medical Animal Records Keeping 

System (MedARKS) and ISIS central database will be phased out in the next two years. 

– Most ISIS operating and ZIMS development expenses will not increase more than an average 

of five percent per year. 

– ISIS staff time on the ZIMS Project will be capitalized until ZIMS deployment. 

– All projections include US $2.2 million (over five years) in ISIS capital investment 

in the ZIMS Project. These numbers are shown in the financial model separately. 

Estimated costs 

The ZIMS vendor development cost will be US $3 million over a three-year period. We have agreed 

to pay the ZIMS vendor CGI over a 24-month period (May 2004-April 2006). Because ISIS member 

pledges have been promised over a seven-year period (2003-2009 – many members have made five 

year pledges starting in different years), we plan to use bridge loan financing of up to US $2 million. 

We will pay this loan as pledges are received. 

We have estimated the member-driven design and development process at US $2 million over a 

three-year period. This estimate includes costs of workshops and input gathering from members. 

This estimate does not include ISIS staff salaries (nor the valuable contributed time from the many 

hard-working volunteers). 

We have estimated hosting costs through the deployment phase at US $1.25 million; ISIS and 

community infrastructure improvement at US $1.25 million and global community training and 

deployment support at US $4.7 million. (These estimates also do not include ISIS staff time, 

which is capitalized in the model as part of the project cost.)

Building ZIMS: Projected financial model

Building ZIMS: Identified risks and mitigation 

Building the new Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) is an exciting opportunity for 

ISIS and the global community we serve. The ZIMS Project will take considerable resources over the 

next two years, and we must continue to professionally support our current software for our members 

in the meantime. 

Following is a brief list of potential risks and actions taken by the organization to mitigate those risks. 

– Cash flow shortfalls. ISIS has secured a line of credit at 85 percent of written pledges. 

– There is a potential that the cash from the written pledges will be slow to materialize; that the 

US $5 million we count on finding from outside our community may not come when we need it. 

We have included an optional pause in our contract with CGI until the capital can be raised. 

However, this option will cost an additional US $150,000, if used. 

– Aquariums may not join ISIS as planned. We will be sure that ZIMS serves aquarium needs 

by working to involve aquariums during the development process. We will also invest in a 

comprehensive marketing and communication plan to gain aquarium memberships. We will 

further assess this risk during 2005. 

– Financial constraints may discourage proportionate representation of users at all levels in the 

ZIMS team. We have dedicated a modest budget to help those who may not be able to attend 

workshop and development sessions for this reason. 

– Some members, especially smaller zoos, may not see the need for ZIMS because the current 

ISIS systems seem to serve their immediate needs. We will work closely with these facilities to assure 

that their needs are addressed in the new system and to show them the additional benefits ZIMS 

will offer to them. 

– For some organizations involved in animal care, even the basic dues to ISIS are not affordable. 

ISIS offers a modest sponsorship program that directs new facilities to larger zoos and aquariums 

that may sponsor them as part of outreach programs. This program will be further developed in 2005. 

If the project is not fully funded, we will need to cut back in areas of ZIMS development. The primary 

cost-saving options are to: 

– Decrease deployment expense by using more volunteers 

– Reduce application management and hosting cost below current bids 

– Reduce ISIS-funded community participation 

– Reduce support team size 

– Leverage already existing conferences as the major venues for training and deployment 

If necessary, we could cut the total cost through these measures up to US $3.72 million. However, 

these cost savings would increase risk for the overall success of the ZIMS Project. 

Later expansion to a full-fledged system that would fulfill additional information needs, such as 

nutrition and behavior will require additional support. When we are successful with the first phase of 

the ZIMS Project (core and veterinary system). We will have new opportunities to raise funds and add 

these other needed functions. 

16-17


In this overall plan, a large percentage of the funding will come from the global zoo and aquarium 

community. Our community is committed to this project, and our investment must be substantial to 

convince external donors of the importance of building ZIMS.

of the zoological community, US $500,000 National Leadership Grant through the U.S. Institute of 

Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a US $300,000 grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation 

and US $500,000 through a U.S. Congressional allocation, (and at year’s end ISIS received a

Nathan R. Flesness, Executive Director 

Mr. Flesness has been the executive director of ISIS since 1979. He has overseen expansion of the 

organization from 86 members in four countries to 630 members in 71 countries. For his work with 

ISIS, he was honored in 2003 as the first recipient of the World Conservation Union’s Conservation 

Breeding Specialist Group’s Ulysses Seal Memorial Award for “Innovation in Conservation.” 

Mr. Flesness works extensively with the international, member-elected ISIS Board of Trustees to develop 

and implement priorities, policies and budgets; with the board’s international Science and Technolgy 

Advisory Committees to improve ISIS member services. Overseeing a staff of 25, Mr. Flesness leads 

grant-writing and other fund-raising activities for the organization; coordinates work with two ISIS 

regional offices (Amsterdam and Sydney); develops and maintains relationships with zoo and aquarium 

associations worldwide, relevant international conventions and national regulatory agencies and serves 

on two specialist groups of the World Conservation Union. 

Mr. Flesness has graduate training in population and conservation biology and molecular genetics 

from the Universities of Minnesota, Chicago and Pennsylvania; coursework in non-profit organization 

management at St. Thomas University and a number of scientific publications. 

While serving as ISIS executive director, Mr. Flesness also served for six years as the first (part-time) 

executive secretary of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which broadened his already 

extensive global contacts in the zoo and aquarium community. 

Syed Hassan, Chief Technology Officer and ZIMS Project Manager 

Mr. Hassan joined ISIS in July of 2003. In his role as chief technology officer, Mr. Hassan is the project 

manager for the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) Project. He collaborates with 

member volunteer teams and software vendors to design, develop and deliver ZIMS. 

Mr. Hassan has extensive worldwide project management experience. He has demonstrated his ability 

to solve business issues through information technology, while managing costs and minimizing risk. 

Formerly, Mr. Hassan served as the computer services and telecommunications manager for the 

Toronto Zoo. In this role, he had already contributed towards the ZIMS Project by actively participating 

in Request For Proposal (RFP) preparation. Mr. Hassan prepared a complete financial model, including 

estimated project cost and human resources requirements. 

Mr. Hassan has achieved numerous information technology solutions as a professional, including 

re-engineering and converting computer systems to serve specific organizational needs, implementing 

information technology solutions and developing computer software. 

Mr. Hassan, a Canadian citizen, holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics from University of Sindh and a 

post-secondary diploma in Computer Science from HICS. He is a certified Project Management 

Professional (PMP), and holds numerous other certifications in computer software applications.

continuously growing responsibility, and now is a member of the ISIS management team with 

primary responsibility for finance, human resources and general and grant administration.

in the zoo and aquarium community around the world. She coordinates ISIS office work, including 

administrative support for the Building ZIMS: The Campaign for ISIS and ZIMS workshops. 

Michele A. Peters, Communications and Marketing Coordinator 

Ms. Peters joined ISIS in July 2004. In this role, she collaborates with executives, staff and member 

volunteers to identify strategic communications and marketing needs and objectives. Ms. Peters will 

develop and implement communications, marketing and public relations strategies and activities to 

increase awareness of ISIS and its products, and to increase membership in the organization. 

Ms. Peters has more than 10 years of communications and marketing experience in both corporate 

and not-for-profit environments. Previously, Ms. Peters served as the director of public relations for 

Arizant Inc., a Minnesota-based medical device company, and as director of government affairs and 

communications for Medical Alley, a not-for-profit healthcare trade association. 

Ms. Peters has extensive experience in developing and implementing comprehensive communications 

and crisis plans to raise awareness of organizations and their products, and to protect organization’s 

reputations. She expects to complete a Masters in Business Communications from the University of 

St. Thomas in the spring of 2005.

2005 membership fee options 

ISIS membership fees are set by the elected ISIS Board of Trustees. Membership fees can be calculated 

in two ways. The ISIS membership year is 1 January to 31 December. Aquariums, which receive partial 

services from ISIS at present, are eligible for membership at US $955. 

To calculate and choose which membership fee option is best, members are asked to follow these steps: 

1. Attendance based fee option: 

Calculate the total number of visitors that attended your facility during the previous year, including 

paid gate admissions, free day admissions, society members and children/adults attending field trips 

and education programs. 

Using this total, choose the appropriate fee from this table. 

Annual attendance Fee (USD) 

0 to 99,999 visitors per year $1,900 

100,000 to 249,999 visitors per year $3,200 



1 million to 1,999,999 visitors per year $9,500 

2 million or more visitors per year $12,500 

Last full year's attendance (required) 

2. General operating budget fee option: 

A. Use your facility’s general operating budget for the previous year 

B. Remove costs for gift stores, concessions and new construction 

C. Add in any costs for donated salaried staff services, such as city gardeners 

D. Convert the amount into United States Dollars (USD) if your budget is in another currency 

E. Calculate 0.1% of the USD budget amount 

F. If the result of letter E is greater than US $250, this is your fee (Example: If your budget is 

US $400,000, you pay US $400) 

G. If the amount of letter E is less than US $250, please pay ISIS minimum annual fee of US $250 

Members may pay their choice (usually the lesser), based on these calculations.
