Zee Don Zee Associates (949) 235-0917 DonZee@cox.net Message from the District Vice President By Rafael Agrazsanchez I am honored and humbled to serve ISA district 11 as DVP for the next two years. How time flies... I still remember years ago when Raj Adani the Orange County section Nominator at the time asked me if I would be willing to volunteer to the Orange County Section as Program Chair, I was excited to take on the challenge but never thought I would stick with ISA as long as I have. I served the Orange County Section as Programs chair for a year, then as treasurer for two years, then president elect, then president, and now past president and DVP... It happened that fast. I think anyone who has been a member or leader of ISA for years will agree that it just grows on you, you start to look forward to the meetings, the relationships both personal and professional, the teamwork, the growing as a professional in automation, the leadership skills, and seeing the impact that ISA makes to student organizations. As of January 1, 2014, Gary Campbell, previous DVP for District 11 completed his assignment as DVP and he is now appointed as the District 11 Nominator. I want to take a moment to thank Gary for all his hard work and dedication to ISA and District 11.

Message from the District Vice President, continued from page 2 forward to working with Gary in his new role as nominator. I would also like to introduce Jeff Blue as the DVP-Elect for District 11. Jeff will remain DVP-Elect for two years and then serve district 11 as DVP for two years, it is a four year commitment and I am excited to work with Jeff. He has the right energy and knowledge of the society and I am confident he is a great asset to our district and ISA. I would like to thank all of the leaders within ISA s district 11 specifically for volunteering their time and effort into making ISA the prestigious and professional organization that it is. Historically District 11 is among the strongest districts in the society. Without you ISA would not be what it is. Every year the leaders within ISA coordinate monthly meetings, golf tournaments, table top shows, scholarships for students, educational seminars, Christmas parties, social events that promote exchange of ideas and methodologies and among other things create relationships that develop as we age in the automation industry. We begin to realize that the automation world is smaller than we thought before we joined ISA. In my mind this is one of the greatest assets to ISA and automation, the people.
