The San Diego Chapter, established in 1990 by co-founding President Annie Revel, CSEP (current Founder & Director at Revel Productions) and co-founding member Pat Pfohl (current Director of Event Sales at USS Midway), empowers its members to increase their strategic value with industry-related education, professional development, and business growth via networking opportunities.

​

The Chapter is run entirely by a member-elected Board of Directors, who report directly to ILEA International, completely on a volunteer basis. Elections to this board are held yearly and offer either one or two year positions. Furthermore, committees are an alternative to a Board Office and are often used as a stepping stone to board involvement. Committees can vary according to expected time commitment and type of involvement, offering many choices for the individual member.
