My Nonprofit Reviews

I've had a wonderful experience as a member (since 2018) and volunteer (since 2020) with ISA. In the first few years of my career, ISA was instrumental to my growth and advancement as a young engineer. It gave me access to industry standards, training, and credentials that expanded my skillset and credibility with my team. It also helped me build a network of automation industry colleagues and mentors, first in my local area (Cleveland, OH), and later internationally. It was particularly inspiring and sustaining to me that many of these connections were with women and young professionals, during a time when I was often the only young woman in my work environment. As I became involved in volunteer positions of increasing responsibility, ISA gave me countless opportunities to practice soft skills and grow my leadership abilities. This enabled me to advance and pivot in my career.

There are many stories like mine, and countless automation professionals who have benefited over the years from ISA's industry standards leadership, training, events, incredible global network, and dedicated staff. This in turn helps to grow and advance our profession, empowering us all to build ISA's vision of a better world through automation.
