(ANSI: New York) -- Just one month remains to submit nominations for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)’s 2009 Leadership and Service Awards. Nominations are due by Friday, July 17 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.

The awards are presented annually as a part of World Standards Week to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to voluntary consensus standardization and conformity assessment programs, consistently demonstrating a commitment to their industry, their nation, and the enhancement of the global standards system.

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 eligible for an award.
