Summary
Have you ever wondered if someone else already has it all figured out when it comes to being an automation professional within the petrochemical/oil and gas industries? Why reinvent the wheel? The key to success is to capitalize on problems that have already been solved and focus your engineering talent on problems that require innovation.
ISA technical divisions are communities of members who have common technical interests covering a wide variety of industries and technologies. ISA’s technical divisions are free-to-join for ISA members, and members are encouraged to join as many divisions as they choose. For example, you might be interested in both an industry division and a technology division.
Through a division, you can:
- Build a network of peers with similar technical interests
- Participate in online technical discussions
- Receive access to the division community and communications
- Learn through ISA OnPoint technical presentations
- Discover opportunities to be a leader through the division board
- Share your expertise to help others
ChemPID volunteers join various technical committees or focus on specific roles that align with their areas of interest. Any of them can tell you more about their area of focus and the division as a whole. There are numerous benefits and professional opportunities are available when you join ChemPID.
Networking: Increase your visibility in within the petrochemical and oil and gas industries to benefit you and your employer, and have a positive impact on the industry.
Valuable information resources: Member events, such as Connect Live discussions, and OnPoint presentations learning the latest in the industry. Access to ISA standards and publications, and peers who can recommend and explain concepts are available.
Leadership opportunities: You can improve your personal leadership skills, participate in panel discussions, or serve as a session developer for an ISA conference.
Technical writing: Review papers, make presentations, lead discussions, or write articles for InTech magazine.
