ISA全球战略向前发展

执行董事Pat Gouhin于2006年1月加入，在志愿者驱动组织的动态方面拥有出色的相关经验。他显然与志愿者链路建立了牢固的关系，该志愿者现在的愿景始终如一地关注未来。

Today, one can sense a spirit of new drive and determination within the ISA organization to make it much more than it has been for several years. In addition to amalgamated volunteer leadership, the existing team of dedicated people with years of industry knowledge and experience has been expanded to generate new growth through several focused objectives.

ISA成立于1945年为美国仪器协会，该名称在2000年更改为仪器，系统和自动化协会。作为新的扩展重点的象征，请访问今年社会代表的审查，预计该名称将更改为国际自动化协会。此名称反映了重点的两个重要区别：“国际”和“自动化”。ISA最初是一个“仪器”社会，但现在与“自动化”的更广泛方面相关，并旨在成为创造未来自动化专业的催化剂。

原始名称反映在会员资格（约29,000个）中，绝大多数是美国人，在65％中美国，10％ 加拿大. To be a successful global organization, the membership percentages should be the inverse of the current ratio, about 75 percent from outsideNorth America. If one makes the reasonable assumption that domestic membership has stabilized, then international membership should generate growth of at least 300 percent, to well over 100,000 members.

新的ISA希望并打算扩大全球成员资格将成为真正的“国际”。全球运营总监蒂姆·费尔德曼（Tim Feldman）于2006年7月加入ISA，担任新职位，负责制定将ISA转变为全球组织的战略。在他的第一年，他与社会领导人的工作队一起完成了尽职调查和市场分析，从而通过ISA的现金储备获得了全球计划的资金，作为全球计划的资助。费尔德曼（Feldman）在与供应商，最终用户，集成商，政府官员和学术界的主要市场举行会议上旅行，以评估并审查可以将ISA核心竞争力提供给自动化行业的潜在业务合作伙伴。

Recognizing that it will take five to seven years of continued investment to bear fruit, ISA leaders have already approved the investment of significant funds to establish a firm footprint in 印度. The investment from ISA’s reserves to enter these markets is separate, and in addition to, the budgets that will be established to fund the activities of global operations management.

这些现在是ISA的重点目标：

·Develop and coordinate standards: ISA is already globally recognized for its Standards and Practices involvement. To help with standards compliance, the Automation Standards Compliance Institute has been started.

·自动化工作的教育和培训：劳动力发展是每个工业公司的重要问题。ISA认证，认可和许可计划将有助于定义未来的自动化专业人员。

·Publish books and technical articles: Focus will be on automation business.

·自动化专业人员的主持会议和展览：扩大全球参与。

世界上没有其他组织涵盖这些重要功能，以服务全球自动化业务。
