The hard work of numerous volunteers from the end user community, working in concert with technology suppliers and OEM's, was very apparent this week. Our affiliation with ISA in 2005 has been a major contributor to our progress. In this past year, we have applied more resources, increased the extent of our collaborations, heightened our visibility, and secured our future. With ISA's assistance, we have brought a technical director on board to help facilitate our work, developed strategic business plans for each of our working groups, started the rejuvenation of our manufacturing infrastructure group, implemented a new web site and a series of email lists, and launched a web seminar program to fulfill our educational mission.
