Founding membership
A seat at the table — not just access to the platform
Founding members will not just get the best value. They will have the opportunity to join the steering group and help shape what Club ISS becomes. Membership is invite-only. We want schools that are serious about international growth, that value real relationships with agents, and that want to be part of a group that genuinely raises standards across the sector.
