Why I Nominate

I have been a leader at the section and division level and served on the Executive Board. In my time with ISA, I met many members and encountered Sections and Divisions that are doing AMAZING things! They host incredible events, lead others effortlessly, help others get into the automation profession, and grow ISA. Our Society is filled with passionate people whose outstanding work deserves to be recognized. This is where WE have to step up to submit nominations for all those above-and-beyond members, sections and divisions. There are awards for people just beginning their ISA journey and for those who have loved and served in this Society for decades. And perhaps my favorite awards—those for outstanding sections and divisions! Let’s Celebrate Excellence.
