the exchange of ideas
across cultural
traditions and economic disparities.
ISAKOS works with and supports regional societies and their
members in various initiatives, and hopes to strengthen these
relationships through increased collaboration.
What Is the Global Connection: Expanding International
Education Campaign?
The leaders and members of ISAKOS would like to broaden the
society's services and support of arthroscopy, knee surgery and
orthopaedic sports medicine. The Global Connection campaign is a
strategic, phased approach to increasing the society's support for
its members and their specialties by implementing the following priorities:
 Providing new
ISAKOS-sponsored regional hands-on workshops
Enhancing
ISAKOS-approved teaching centers and courses in locations
around the globe
Utilizing video
broadcasting capabilities to initiate web casts of live
procedures to a geographically diverse
audience
Offering CME-accredited
education opportunities to our members
Initiating special
committee projects and traveling fellowships
Partnering with
regional societies and industry leaders to collaborate in
ways that enhance the overall profession
Investing in the
infrastructure and operations of the society in order to
implement these projects
How Much Will This Cost?
Having raised over US $3,000,000 to date, ISAKOS is well on
its way to successfully reaching a Phase II cumulative goal of US
$5,000,000.
Who Will Be Asked to Participate?
ISAKOS campaign success to date has been built on committed
leadership. As the society strives to reach the minimum US
$5,000,000 Phase II goal, ISAKOS members, corporate partners
and friends will be asked to support our campaign.
Why a Campaign?
The ISAKOS Global Connection campaign is an exciting initiative
that will allow ISAKOS to increase member benefits and activities
that cannot be funded through dues alone. Because our
campaign is vital to the short- and long-term success of our
society, Global Connection seeks pledged commitments payable over
a period of three to five years.
Will I Be Recognized for My Support?
YES! In order to thank our generous corporate and individual
donors, our campaign provides many opportunities for recognition
and branding. This includes recognition in print and other
media, exclusive branding of some ISAKOS initiatives, and
opportunities for building relationships which further our
fields. Donor recognition information is available through
the campaign office.
How Can I Make a Gift to Support the Global Connection
Campaign?
Throughout the next year, campaign leaders will be contacting
companies, members and friends to provide more information about the
campaign and invite you to participate.
