The American National Standards Institute has announced it’s accepting nominations for its board of directors and voting membership on policy committees.

The nominations are for terms beginning Jan. 1. All qualified BOD candidates will be referred to the board nominating committee and will be placed on a ballot for a vote by ANSI members. Candidates must either be corporate officers or provide a letter stating that their company or organization will support the candidate’s participation. This requirement doesn’t apply to ANSI individual or government members. A biographical statement must also be provided.

Board member responsibilities include the approval of such fundamental issues as the strategic direction of the Institute and the annual budget, along with a variety of other duties. Voting membership of the Institute’s policy committee is limited to approximately 30 members.

All nominations must be received by Sept. 24. For more information or to learn more about the nomination process, visit www.ansi.org.
