In line with the guidelines of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), a group of 10 Iranian members of the AIS was assembled to form the Iranian Scholars Chapter of the AIS (IRAIS). These members served as officers and founders of the IRAIS and prepared the required documents such as the chapter’s bylaws to form the chapter. The proposal to form the chapter was submitted to the AIS Council on September 14, 2021, and it was approved on December 17, 2021. We received the formal approval letter on January 10, 2022.
