Once again, I would like to thank all ofthe leaders within ISA’s District 11specifically for volunteering their time andeffort into making ISA the prestigious andprofessional organization that it is. Histori-cally District 11 is among the strongestdistricts in the society. Without you ISAwould not be what it is. Every year theleaders within ISA coordinate monthlymeetings, golf tournaments, table topshows, scholarships for students, educa-tional seminars, Christmas parties, socialevents that promote exchange of ideas andmethodologies and among other thingscreate relationships that develop as we agein the automation industry. We begin torealize that the automation world is smallerthan we thought before we joined ISA. Inmy mind this is one of the greatest assets toISA and automation, the people.
