List of International, National and Other ISHN Partners in Providing Joint Services
It is essential that ISHN develop a membership base and provide those members with a reliable, relevant and cost-effective set of services so that the mission of ISHN can be implemented in a sustainable manner. ISHN is determined to not compete, but rather cooperate with like-minded organizations in the development of its membership. Consequently, ISHN will be approaching a number of international organizations, as well as national and state/provincial organizations with members who are interested in exchanging information and knowledge about events, programs and other trends in other countries.
Preference will be given to non-profit, non-governmental organizations active at the state, national or international level who are concerned with promoting health, safety, equity, social or sustainable development through schools.
