U.S. stakeholders are encouraged to nominate young professionals who work for industry, the government, academia, consumer organizations, or any entity within the U.S. voluntary standards and conformity assessment community. Candidates should be involved with standardization or conformance from a technical or managerial perspective within their organization. This program is targeted towards individuals who are in the early years of their professional career, post university.
Nominations must be submitted electronically to Charlie Zegers, general secretary of the USNC ([email protected]) by April 29, 2011. Click here to download the nomination form.
The selection process is based on the nominee's demonstrated leadership and dedication , vision of the strategic or commercial impact of standards and conformance, and significant accomplishments in their chosen field of activity. Candidates will be assessed by a selection panel comprised of USNC Officers, standing committee officers, and a pool of USNC Honorary Life Members. The three winners will be notified in July 2011.
