http://www.iste.org/news/2002/05/14-merger.html International Society For Technology In Education (ISTE) And National Educational Computing Association (NECA) Merger Approved Members of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and the National Educational Computing Association (NECA) have voted overwhelmingly to accept the bylaws of a new organization to be formed by merging ISTE and NECA. The merger becomes effective June 1, 2002. The resulting organization will retain the name International Society for Technology in Education with headquarters opening in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 2002. For 2002–2003, the “new” ISTE will be governed by a board of directors formed by combining the membership of both organizations’ boards. According to board co-president Cathleen Norris, “The merger of these two leading organizations will further strengthen our mutual efforts to support improved learning, teaching, and administration through appropriate uses of technology.” Co-president Cheryl Williams adds, “ISTE has always been proud of its alliance with NECA, and we’re even more pleased to strengthen that alliance with shared leadership and a Washington, DC, office. By combining forces, the premier Ed Tech membership society and the premier Ed Tech conference will provide a full spectrum of year-round professional development opportunities.”
