Categories & Functions
ANSI’s Member Forums represent the voice of their respective segment of the ANSI Membership, providing a venue for dialogue on global standards and conformity assessment issues and the opportunity to network with representatives of other ANSI Members.
The functions of each of the ANSI Members Forums include the following:
- Provide a venue for discussion, networking, and information exchange among members from a defined interest category (company, organization, government, or consumer)
- Provide a mechanism for early warning and intelligence gathering on relevant trends
- Address issues of interest to their membership category and galvanize implementation at their constituent level
- Identify broader-based issues to be addressed by an identified ANSI governance body
- Assume an active role in ANSI membership recruitment and retention
- Serve as the one place within ANSI where participants can represent their own organization’s interests
