At the 2007 Regional Meeting in Houston, Robert Oxley, ISSFA’s  Executive Director announced, “The ISSFA Board of Directors, in a brilliant act of benevolence, has voted to pay 50% of each member’s registration fees for the association’s educational programs in order to help members succeed in business during these declining economic times. The Economic Relief Initiative is not a discount or marketing scheme.”
