The ISIS 7-year business plan 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. 8-9
