Executive Order 13112 calls for the creation of a Federal Advisory Committee to provide information and advice for consideration by the Council. The ISAC is composed of approximately thirty stakeholders from state organizations, industry, conservation groups, scientists, academia and other interests. The ISAC is composed of stakeholders from state organizations, industry, conservation groups, scientists, academia and other interests. The members serve two-year terms. Listed below are the current members of ISAC, who have been recently selected (August 2004) to serve on the third term of the advisory committee.

In January of 2000, the first ISAC was convened in Washington, DC. In April 2002, the second ISAC was formed and in 2004, the third ISAC. The ISAC has been instrumental in writing the National Invasive Species Council Management Plan. Several working groups were convened under the auspices of ISAC to help write the eight sections of the Plan.
