Message from the President
ISA Brazos Section Newsletter
September / October 2005
I would like to thank everyone for attending our workshop meetings this summer. Naturally, as it starts into our New Year, the Program Committee is the first committee to get established and running on all cylinders. A good way to pin point our technical luncheon dates would be to follow:
Luncheons are on the first Thursday after the first Wednesday of each month starting September 8th.
Our first technical luncheon was by Ms. Patricia (Pat) Williams of Dow Chemical Company, Process Analyzer Specialist, on “HRVOC (Highly Reactive Volatile Organic Compounds) Monitors for Flares and Cooling Towers: Analytical Opportunities and Solutions.”
“Outstanding”
Our second technical luncheon, October 6th, was by Charles B. Pennington, P.E., Engineering Specialist, a member of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers staff from Austin, Texas. The presentation was on Engineering Ethics including: rule changes; continuing education requirements; enforcement case statistics, and actual cases.
A few technical difficulties, but we over came and pressed forward.
We moved our ISA Brazos Section Golf Tournament to September 19th of
2005 due to several conflicts. The Golf Tournament Chairperson was Ms. Staci
Walden of DSM Nutritional. The Golf Tournament took place Monday the 19th
at Riverside Country Club, Lake Jackson, Texas with great success.
On November 3rd, Ben Cox and Denis Lee of Rockwell Automation will present “Different Fieldbusses and why they exist”. We will close out the year 2005 with a membership activity.
Let’s work together to have an outstanding year for Brazos Section. Join us for lunch, to eat a good meal, learn something dealing with our technical arena, and to meet with our peers.
Will J Brooks
ISA Brazos Section President 2005/2006
