Academy International Visits Program

International visits to approved host organizations are a member benefit available to IASSIDD members. The purpose of these visits is for the host organization to offer a teaching and learning opportunity for the visitor or visitors. The host organization may assist in organizing accommodation and may offer assistance in planning the visit but the responsibility for all travel and accommodation lies with the visitor. Several organizations have kindly agreed to host international visits.
