Welcome to the
Houston Section page.
The
Houston Section is the largest ISA section in the world with approximately 750 members. Chartered on March 16th, 1948, we are also one of the oldest! The Houston Section has been the Host Section for many ISA annual events and participates closely with our partners and members to provide ongoing education and information to anyone interested in the Automation Industry.
Plans for the 2022-2023 Term:
- Industry Reach and Awareness:
- The ISA Houston Section is well-known in the Houston area, but many of the local automation professionals are not currently engaged with us.
- Our goal is to reach out to the top EPCs and End Users in the region to discuss with them how we can tailor our events and training courses to bring more value to them and engage more of their professionals.
- Technical Education and Certification:
- Our training courses and the CSE PE Study group are also well-known in the Houston area. However, our attendance levels have not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
- Our goal is to work with the members to bring more relevant training courses to them, bringing our attendance levels back to the pre-pandemic levels.
- Membership:
- With many retirements in the last few years, we have been losing several of our members, resulting in a reduction of our membership numbers.
- Our goal is to bring back the Networking events and increase our membership, especially with young automation professionals.
- Leadership Development:
- The ISA Houston Section is always in need for new volunteers, and one of our focuses has always been leadership development.
- Our goal is to create new volunteer opportunities for young members who are seeking leadership roles in their careers. These volunteer opportunities will be focused on helping them build their leadership skills, as well as help them build a network of industry professionals who can serve as their mentors in the future.
Outside these four areas, we will also focus on the following initiatives:
- Increase our scholarship funds.
- Leverage ISA Connect to better communicate with our members.
- Grow our events back to pre-pandemic levels.
