Celebrate automation professionals around the
world on 28 April
DURHAM,
N.C., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
International Society of Automation (ISA) – the leading
professional society for automation – will celebrate its third
annual International Automation Professionals Day on 28 April 2024.
"28 April marks ISA's founding and
celebrates automation professionals around the world," said
Claire Fallon, ISA CEO.
The digital event will recognize automation professionals around
the world for their efforts in the fields of manufacturing,
engineering, cybersecurity, supply chain operations and critical
infrastructures that make our lives easier.
Individuals at all career levels, as well as students, are
encouraged to participate on social media with images and
testimonials that feature them on the job, studying for their
automation-related major, or by giving statements about why they
believe automation is changing the world for the better.
International Automation Professionals Day is celebrated each
year on 28 April in commemoration of ISA's founding on that date in
1945. The Day keeps the society's founders' legacies and their
long-lasting contributions to the industry front of mind while
honoring the contributions of those who work in automation to
improve the lives of others around the world.
"Automation professionals don't just use their expertise to
improve efficiency and save money," said ISA CEO and Executive Director, Claire Fallon. "While that is valuable, they
also design and implement alerts to dangerous situations, prevent
potential catastrophes and protect human life."
ISA President Prabhu Soundarrajan
echoed the sentiment, stating that those who work in the field do
so with a thoughtfulness for others.
"Automation professionals work tirelessly 24/7, 365 days a
year," he said. "It is so important to say thank you and celebrate
and recognize the communities who make so many conveniences a
reality for people across the globe."
Soundarrajan added that he hopes to see engagement from the
worldwide ISA community on 28 April.
"I encourage all of us to come together and celebrate each other
during International Automation Professionals Day," he said. "Share
your stories, talk to others in the industry, encourage a young
professional by mentoring them and celebrate your success!"
Fallon said that automation professionals are the heart of the
community, and days like this are important in recognizing
that.
"Ultimately, automation depends on people, and we are proud to
celebrate that on 28 April and every day. ISA applauds and thanks
the international community of technicians and engineers that make
our world a better place through automation," she said. "What more
honorable mission could there be?"
