Be as proud of your
profession as we are—serving
the public, our members and
the industry. We stand tall.
The Illinois Sign Association (ISA) was
founded in 1969 to elevate and promote the
standards and professionalism of the custom electric sign industry in sales, manufacturing and service.
Our members epitomize the very best the
industry has to offer its customers, the
viewing public and the communities where
our products and services are marketed.
Our abiding concern with the aesthetics of a community have prompted us to work
with local officials in a cooperative effort to
develop acceptable, but realistic zoning and
sign codes.
Educational Programs
Through our association of sign companies,
sign users, sign supply distributors, sign
manufacturers and manufacturer representatives, we strive daily to provide the latest
information and newest technologies, effective business strategies and legislative developments that impact the industry.
Conferences, special training seminars, a
quarterly newsletter and various other informational publications keep the membership abreast of what they need to know.
ISA also acknowledges excellence of design
and individual achievement through special
award programs and peer recognition.
For nearly 40 years, ISA has stood tall as a
professional trade association serving the
ever changing needs of its members and the
customers they serve. It has been a part-
nership of which we are indeed proud!
