 2. ANSI Leadership & Service Awards


2022 NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN! DEADLINE: JUNE 24

ANSI has opened the call for nominations for its 2022 Leadership and Service
Awards. These awards will be presented at a banquet and ceremony on October 12
at The Fairmont Washington, DC, during the fall 2022 World Standards
Week events. Winners will be announced in the summer of 2022.

Criteria and nomination forms for each of 12 award categories are provided
below. Letters of support from members of the standardization community
attesting to the nominee's achievements are strongly encouraged as part of the
nomination.

Completed nomination forms together with supporting documents should be emailed
to awards@ansi.org by June 24, 2022 (5 p.m. Eastern). 


2020–2021 INFORMATION

AWARDS OVERVIEW

The ANSI annual leadership and service awards program is a long-standing
tradition that recognizes and honors the creativity, dedication, and vision of
individuals who contribute to and participate in U.S. and global voluntary
standardization activities. Each year, ANSI invites the nomination of
outstanding leaders and achievers across the broad spectrum of ANSI members and
constituents.

ELIGIBILITY

ELIGIBILITY OF NOMINEES

Representatives of industry, government, academia, consumer organizations, and
the U.S. voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment community, with
the exception of current officers of ANSI’s Board of Directors, are considered
eligible for an award.

ELIGIBILITY OF NOMINATORS

Nominations may be submitted by any member of the Institute; by members of any
ANSI Board, committee, council, or other group; or by members of an
ANSI-accredited standards body or ANAB-accredited certifier. Nominations
submitted with letters of support, the endorsement of a third party or an entire
group are encouraged.

SELECTION PROCESS

The Awards Committee, consisting of the chair, immediate past chair, and the
current vice chairs of the ANSI Board of Directors, consider every nomination
received. Selections are made based on the comparison of data submitted against
the description of each award.

The Awards Committee reserves the right to present a nominee with an award other
than the one for which he or she was nominated. At the discretion of the Awards
Committee, multiple recipients are allowed in certain award categories. If the
Awards Committee determines that no candidates meet the eligibility
requirements, an award is not given. Current ANSI officers are not eligible for
an award.


LIST OF AWARDS




MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD

Meritorious Service Awards are presented to individuals or groups who have a
record of significant contribution to voluntary standardization and who have
demonstrated outstanding service in enabling ANSI to attain the objectives for
which it was founded.

MAUREEN BREITENBERG CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT RESEARCH MEDAL

The Maureen Breitenberg Conformity Assessment Research Medal honors work that
advances the principles of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
(NTTAA) through outstanding contributions toward reducing redundancy and
complexity in conformity assessment. Efforts to leverage private-sector
conformity assessment infrastructure to meet market and regulatory needs, or
distinguished research from business, industry, government, academic, or
non-profit professionals that illuminate the importance of conformance in
providing confidence in standards compliance, improving the health and safety of
Americans, and strengthening the competitiveness of U.S. business in the global
marketplace, will be considered.

The award is named for the late Maureen Breitenberg, a valued leader and
contributor to ANSI and the greater standards and conformity assessment
community, who passed away in 2010. Ms. Breitenberg served as senior economist
in the Standards Services Division of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). A prodigious author, her widely referenced publications on
certification, conformity assessment, laboratory accreditation, and U.S. and
international standardization activities have been recognized as primers for
anyone entering these fields.

GEORGE S. WHAM LEADERSHIP MEDAL

The George S. Wham Leadership Medal honors outstanding contributions by an
individual who has provided direction and long-range planning to the ANSI
standards federation in commitment and support of the national and/or
international standards system or in a specific area of voluntary
standardization.

The award is named in honor of Dr. George S. Wham, technical director at Good
Housekeeping magazine, who has served as a past chairman of ANSI’s Board of
Directors and who was a member of the Board for more than a decade. It was Dr.
Wham’s leadership and vision that initiated the establishment of ANSI’s
long-range strategic planning process, which enabled ANSI to respond to
increasing challenges of the global standards community. Among his many
accomplishments, Dr. Wham chaired ANSI’s Consumer Interest Council and ANSI’s
Coordinating Board on Textiles, and also led numerous delegations to
international meetings on textile standardization. In addition, Dr. Wham has
served on advisory committees of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the
National Academy of Sciences and has been active in the American Association of
Textiles, Chemists and Colorists, ASTM, and Underwriters Laboratories. Dr. Wham
was the first individual to receive this prestigious award.

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.
