Imagine a world where artificial intelligence, unmanned aircraft, additive manufacturing, or any of a multitude of other critical and emerging technologies seamlessly integrate into our daily lives. Imagine playgrounds, workplaces, and highways that are safer, and goods that are more reliable and affordable. Imagine an environment that is cooler, storms that are less threatening, and infrastructure that is more resilient.
If you can imagine it, the American National Standards Institute and its stakeholders are already working to make it a reality. ANSI is a powerful organization of visionary innovators and changemakers. Spend a few moments clicking through these pages to see how ANSI’s efforts to amplify, enhance, and leverage a century-long partnership of the private and public sectors are moving our world EVER FORWARD.Members and Friends,
This has been another exciting year of opportunity and transformation for ANSI and the stakeholders we serve.
At home and abroad, we have remained laser-focused in our efforts to champion the unique strengths of the private-sector-led standards and conformity assessment system. We have continued our careful study of the evolving standards landscape. And we have embraced and leveraged change to enhance ANSI’s services, expand our reach, and strengthen our partnerships.
On the pages that follow, find thoughtful insights into ANSI’s strategic direction. See the resources we produce to keep our members informed of issues that can impact their organizations. Learn about engaging new programs that empower a new generation of standards leaders to say, “Come, help us build the future.”
You will see a recurring theme across these examples: many of our recent efforts continue to be directly tied to the evolving standards landscape, the public-private partnership, and critical and emerging technologies. But ANSI is much more than futuristic tech. Our community is working just as hard to tackle some of humanity's greatest challenges in health, safety, and the environment.
This is our core. ANSI’s strength comes from its people. Our diverse and engaged membership extends from the labs of cutting-edge companies to the halls of government to the hands of skilled craftsmen to educators and professionals to consumers and families at home. Our influence ripples across borders too. Regardless of the forum, the work we do sets the stage for a safer, more innovative, and interconnected world.
So now, as we invite you to read our 2023-2024 Annual Report, we take a moment to congratulate and thank ANSI’s dedicated employees, members, partners, and stakeholders. Your support drives our organization headlong into the future with confidence and tenacity. For this, we are grateful.
Sincerely,
Joe Bhatia David Miller
