As a volunteer organization, we rely on the dedication of our membership to enable us to effectively address simulation interoperability issues and to develop standards to facilitate such interoperability. Each of us needs to play an active role in our organization. This includes running for SISO offices as well as voting in SISO elections.

During each election cycle, there are 3 openings on the Executive Committee (EXCOM), 5 openings on the Conference Committee (CC) and 5 openings on the Standards Activity Committee (SAC). In addition, every PRP slot is open. View list of all positions that were available in the 2011 Election year.
