The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has extended the deadline for nominations for ANSI’s 2022 Leadership and Service Awards to accommodate a number of requests from the standardization community. Nominations for 12 categories of awards will be accepted through July 7, 2022 (5 p.m. Eastern).
ANSI will present the awards at a banquet and ceremony on October 12, 2022, at The Fairmont Washington, Washington, DC, during the fall 2022 World Standards Week events.
The awards ceremony honors individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to voluntary consensus standards development, conformity assessment activities, and workforce development, and whose contributions have consistently demonstrated a commitment to their industry, the nation, and the enhancement of the global standardization system.
