Beamex Helps ISA’s Process Measurement & Control Division Scholarships

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (Aug. 31, 2016)—The International Society of Automation (ISA) announced that Beamex, ISA’s Premier Strategic Partner for calibration, has donated $4,155 to ISA’s Process Measurement & Control Division (PMCD) educational scholarship fund. The contribution resulted from a training event—2016 Best Calibration Practices: Interactive Workshop—that was co-hosted by ISA and Beamex on Aug. 18 at the Space Center Houston in Texas. Engineers and technicians met to share ideas and learn the best techniques for streamlining calibration processes and troubleshooting when unanticipated situations arise in the field. Beamex had previously announced that a portion of the revenue generated from the August workshop would be submitted to ISA’s PMCD to help support the division’s scholarship fund. However, Beamex recently made the decision to donate all of its revenue from the event to the division’s scholarship fund. Also, Beamex announced that all registration fees collected from the upcoming Strategic Automation Leadership Conference on Oct. 12 at ISA’s headquarters in North Carolina will be donated to the division’s educational scholarships. The October conference targets managers and executives seeking to enhance processes and achieve operational excellence in financial management and plant safety. “ISA wholeheartedly thanks Beamex for its generous donation to the PMCD scholarship fund and for pledging to donate additional monies generated at the October leadership conference. These contributions will be earmarked for much-needed educational gifts to undergraduate and graduate students studying or seeking to study process measurement and control,” said Patrick Gouhin, ISA’s Executive Director & CEO. “For over 40 years, the Beamex mission has been to focus strongly and consistently on calibration. We know that we can only accomplish this by investing in people. In light of the aging automation workforce and the lack of skilled workers, it’s critical—now more than ever before—to invest in and support talented young people seeking a career in the field of automation,” said Greg Sumners, president of Beamex Inc.
