Presidents Message

 

The new ISA activity year for the section is about to start and here’s hoping that we can have a progressive year where we can accomplish some of the goals that we have set for the section during our summer workshop.

 

Coming out of this full day planning session, the committee members, who volunteered one of their Saturday weekends, identified a few things that we want to do, some of which have already been put in motion.

 

As a reminder to members of the Instrumentation and Automation profession ISA's raison d'etre is to provide services and resources to its members. Most of these resources are available on the ISA web site and are free to members. As further benefits to members, there are also a host of training courses and material available to help attain the highest levels of their profession.

 

The Toronto section provide some of these services through monthly member/dinner meetings where informative and educational topics are presented by experts and professionals in their respective fields. Members and guests are invited to attend and learn the latest in technologies.

 

We also welcome suggestions for topics for these presentations and encourage fellow members to assist ISA in continuing to be the premier organization serving the Automation profession.

 

The online membership surveys were a valuable tool in determining membership needs, namely — the annual show, programs (a.k.a. dinner meetings) and training courses. Many  thanks to
