I wrote last March about what it means to be an ISA volunteer and shared thoughts on the benefits of getting involved. Some of the most cited benefits of volunteering are related to professional networking, such as:
- Broadening your network of global professionals
- Sharing and gaining knowledge
- Giving back to the profession
- Enhancing your influence and recognition as an expert and leader
- Achieving professional growth and personal satisfaction
ISA offers a great tool, exclusive to its members, where you can connect with the automation community and grow your professional network. It’s called ISA Connect, and its purpose is to foster collaboration and technical conversations. If you have not logged in recently, you will notice that ISA Connect has a new look. I believe that it looks much nicer and is now even easier to use. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from our members.
However, some of you have not started connecting. Therefore, I would like to launch the following challenge to all of our members: #ConnectWithCarlos.
