Posted by: | CommentsThe 2010 ISA Spring Leaders Meeting (SLM) will soon be here! Register now for this must-attend leadership-training event.
Message from Dianna L. Noyes, ISA Administrator, Section and District Services
Date: 12-14 June 2010
Location: Summerlin, Nevada (Las Vegas).
Meeting Registration, Meeting Schedule, and Hotel Information: Click here. Please note that 21 May 2010 is the deadline to register.
The SLM will provide you with many tools you need to be a successful leader. Here are a few highlights of what to expect:
The ISA and the Web session, which includes information on using social media, has been expanded to three hours because of its popularity. Presenters Jon DiPietro and Shari Worthington will be back this year with more information to keep you up-to-date on how to use the web and other electronic media. These media can help you keep in contact with your Members, recruit new Members and leaders, and find new ways to grow your ISA Section.
The Section Leaders Roundtable, with Brad Rupert as facilitator, will surely have some lively discussions as participants share their successes and lessons they’ve learned. Programs, presentations, and promotions are just some of the topics to be shared in this pool of knowledge and experience.
Learn about ISA—the Society, the different technical Divisions, the benefits of membership, etc.—and your role and responsibilities as a leader. Presenters Peggie Koon, William Stange, and Joe Provenzano will lead the discussions about some of the key challenges and opportunities you might face as a leader. In addition, they and other presenters will share their personal experiences within the Society.
Come, join your fellow leaders for an enjoyable and interesting Spring Leaders Meeting. A great program has been prepared for you. Bring your questions, share your experiences, and get re-charged for the year. I look forward to seeing you!

Automation Week Call for Topics [Open Thread]
Posted by: | Comments
ISA Expo 2009
As you may or may not be aware, ISA Expo is being replaced by ISA Automation Week beginning this year (2010). Executive Director Pat Gouhin points out that ISA Automation Week is “organized around a different model than ISA has used in the past. The new model focuses on the conference as the center of the event, because we believe that automation and control professionals at every level seek knowledge above all else.”
The ISA Automation Week conference program will focus on the latest industry developments and standards in key manufacturing disciplines like automation, energy and power, green manufacturing, instrumentation and process control, safety and security, systems and enterprise integration, and wireless, networking, and industrial communications. Conference sessions will include both theory-based and applications-based presentations to appeal to a wide variety of automation and control professionals.
The purpose of this thread is to solicit input from the automation community with regard to these conference sessions.
Put simply, what topics would interest you?
