The International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) was founded in 1992 to promote the development and application of Bayesian analysis useful in the solution of theoretical and applied problems in science, industry and government. By sponsoring and organizing meetings, publishing the electronic journal of Bayesian statistics Bayesian Analysis, the ISBA Bulletin and the ISBA website, ISBA provides a focal point for those interested in Bayesian analysis and its applications. The Bayes News forums provide up-to-date information to the community of statisticians and scientists interested in Bayesian Analysis and have over 2000 subscribers.  ISBA is sponsor or co-sponsor of international conferences on Bayesian statistics, including the biennial ISBA World meetings, Bayesian Nonparametrics  and Objective Bayes workships as well as regional meetings affiliated with ISBA Chapters, and endorses other meetings of interest to the Bayesian community and offers member discounts on registration.  ISBA dues and other funds  support travel awards for graduate students and junior researchers.   ISBA administers several prestigious prizes, including the DeGroot Prize, Lindley Prize, Mitchell Prize, and Savage award.  Contributions to support travel awards, as well as the other prizes that ISBA administers, are always needed.
