As director of ChemPID, I want us to be a strong community of automation professionals with common interests. There should be opportunities to network with other professionals to share and learn, opportunities to publish, and opportunities to lead.
Last year, we assembled a strong team on the division board to carry out our goals. This year, I hope to provide more opportunities to expand and accomplish our mission. Watch ISA connect for updated volunteer postings.
We participated as a knowledge partner at the Onshore Wellsite Automation Congress in January: Onshore Wellsite Automation 2023 (wellsite-automation.com). This is the 3rd year the ISA ChemPID has been a partner in this conference. There a few ChemPID members attending and presenting.
Check out the 2023 1st quarter issue of InTech (late February 2023). ChemPID members provided all of the content for the issue. I hope this ChemPID issue of InTech provides something useful to each one of you.
By being active in ISA standards committees, the divisions, and my local section, I have met some amazing people who shared their experience with me. I have been inspired and learned much from them and made some good friends. I hope this division can provide opportunities for you to do the same.
