The International Society of Automation (ISA), like all associations, has seen its heyday and then a slump as it found its way in a changed environment. At one time it had great support from corporations until said corporations began pinching pennies. I was a member for years. It still does valuable work in the standards area.
It is heartening to see that new leadership has pushed the organization forward. Glad to see this recognition.
The International Society of Automation (ISA) — the leading professional society for automation — announced it has been named a 2024 Top-Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits, the primary platform for community-sourced reviews about nonprofit organizations.
“We are proud to be named a 2024 Top-Rated Nonprofit,” said Claire Fallon, ISA CEO and executive director. “ISA has just experienced a tremendously successful 2023 with landmark growth across all areas of the organization. It is an honor to see that our success is recognized by our supportive volunteers and members, and that their experience as part of the ISA community has had a positive impact on them. Thank you to 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:
- “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 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.”
- “My multifaceted journey within ISA, from local leadership to district-level responsibilities and now at the executive board, has been instrumental in my skill development and career.”
- “As an automation professional, ISA’s standards, certifications and training have been crucial for my career. Their conferences and networking events are fantastic for learning and connecting with others in the field. If you’re in the field, ISA is the place to be!”
