AF serves as a gathering place for all the expertise, knowledge, and all things automation for everyone: government, industry, academia, you, me, etc. Through our membership in AF, ISA plays a major role in the advancement of automation for the benefit of all people. We are proud to be a part of—and even prouder to have founded—the Automation Federation. I encourage everyone in the world of automation to take part in AF’s work to advance the profession and to gain the recognition we deserve.” “OMAC is a relatively small organization that has benefited greatly from our membership in the Automation Federation through partnerships and opportunities to work with larger organizations with similar goals and objectives. AF keeps OMAC up-to-date on the latest topics and issues relevant to our members. Workforce development and SmartGrid are two such issues that have become very important within OMAC. I can only look forward to the new growth to our membership because of AF’s efforts.” “Automation is the key to growth of manufacturing and we need unbiased organizations like the Automation Federation to generate the Standards and Competency Models that we will need to propel us forward.” "We anticipate great success with the leadership of the Automation Federation.
