ANSI Awards
Finegan Standards Medal

The Finegan Standards Medal honors an individual, not necessarily an executive,
who has shown extraordinary leadership in the actual development and
application of voluntary standards.
The Standards Medal was renamed in 1985 for Richard J. Finegan, vice-president
of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, who for more than a decade provided
leadership and strong support to ANSI and the voluntary standards system. Mr.
Finegan helped determine Institute policy and programs as a long-standing
member of ANSI’s Board of Directors. He served as vice-chairman,
vice-president, a member of the Executive Committee, and chairman of the Board
Finance Committee. He was also elected honorary chairman of the Board in
recognition of his outstanding service. The Finegan Standards Medal, named in
his honor, encourages others to give the same caliber of exceptional
leadership.
