Working together to promote healthy travel


ISTM offers three types of volunteer activities for Members to become active within the organisation, network with their colleagues and contribute to the field.

Committees

ISTM Committees support ISTM activities and projects. They are chartered and tasked by the Executive Board following established guidelines.
