The real value of any organization can be measured by the worth of its objectives and its fulfillment of those purposes.

It was with this mission in mind that the nine charter members laid the cornerstone of our purchasing association in 1920. Today ISM—Carolinas–Virginia, Inc. serves a total membership in excess of 2000 over the three-state area.

Message from the President

Dear ISM—Carolinas–Virginia member,

Beginning in 2010, all ISM–CV member dues invoicing will be handled through the ISM Affiliate Member Dues Billing Program. ISM National (Tempe, AZ) will invoice each member for his/her annual dues and collect all payments online or via fax, phone, or mail.

This process change will improve service to our membership and allow us to expand our membership benefits. Read More
