IASI Overview and Mission |
The International Association of Structural Integrators is
the professional membership organization for Structural
Integration. Founded in 2002, IASI sprang up as a grassroots
organization from within the profession to:
- set standards,
- move towards certification,
- insure continuation of a professional identity, and
- promote Structural Integration’s continued growth as a
respected profession in the healthcare field.
IASI has since grown rapidly to become Structural
Integration’s most well-respected organization
attracting a world-wide membership of leaders in the
field.
Our mission:
To be the leading professional organization for the
advancement and promotion of Structural Integration as a
cornerstone to health and well-being through education,
community and communication.
Membership in IASI assures your clients that they are
receiving treatment from a well-trained and knowledgeable
professional who has met strict training standards, follows
a professional code of ethics, and maintains a program of
continuing education.
IASI is incorporated in the State of Montana as a 501(c)6 non-profit membership organization (see bylaws).

Working for
the Success
SI Professionals |
IASI works for legislation which will allow
Structural Integrators within the U.S. and in all
member countries to maintain their unique place in
the health care field, practicing free of
unnecessary restrictions. The IASI Board recognizes
that in order to maintain that freedom, we as a
profession must accept responsibility for:
- overseeing and improving standards of
practice and training
- maintaining a code of ethics and grievance
procedures
- building a quality continuing education
program
- communicating and networking for its
members

Opportunities to Participate

IASI was created by
Structural Integrators, to serve Structural
Integrators. Much of the work of developing the
organization and creating a professional identity
for Structural Integration is being done with the
time, energy and vision of dedicated volunteers.
There are many tasks, from small projects to large,
that require the talents and skills of different
people. This is an opportunity to put your knowledge
and skills to use in the area that interests you and
help bring the IASI vision into being. |
