2025-top-rated-awards-badge-embed-1.pngThe International Society of Automation (ISA) — the leading professional society for automation — announced today it has been named a 2025 Top-Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits, the primary platform for community-sourced reviews about nonprofit organizations. ISA also received this recognition in 2024.

“We are proud to be named a 2025 Top-Rated Nonprofit, and to celebrate our second year in a row with this special distinction,” said Claire Fallon, ISA CEO and executive director. “ISA experienced monumental growth in 2024, with a 17.84% increase in membership among many other landmark successes. It is an honor to see our supportive volunteers and members championing this positive momentum for two years in a row. We are grateful that their experience as part of the ISA community has had such profound meaning and impact. We would like to thank GreatNonprofits for highlighting our mission to create a better world through automation.”

The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the five-star rating and number of reviews that ISA received from its volunteers and members. Review contributors with a wide range of experiences shared the impact ISA has had on their professional lives:

  • “ISA is a force multiplier. Personally, I have benefited since 1993 from reading the books and standards they publish and attend the conferences and exhibitions. ISA also enables me to pay back to the community by publishing books and standards and to present and exhibit. Over the years, I have seen many great engineers work hard on automation for good, encouraged by the awards and recognitions also given by ISA.”
  • “Being a volunteer at ISA allows me to plan meetup events with fellow volunteers and members from various locations. This not only helps me gain relevant knowledge but also enhances my soft skills.”
  • “Looking back, my 20-year journey with ISA has been one of growth, resilience and gratitude. The society has not only been an educational resource but a guiding force that has connected me with like-minded professionals who share a passion for advancing our field.”
  • “I was truly amazed by the work of the International Society of Automation over the last number of years within the automation community. When I started to volunteer four years ago, I saw firsthand how they provide not only great technical content but develop some fantastic leaders within automation.”
GreatNonprofits is the leading website where people share stories about their personal experiences on more than 1.6 million charities and nonprofits.
