The U.S. National Committee (USNC) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) congratulates the U.S. winners of its 2022 Young Professionals Workshop Competition. Recipients will participate in the international workshop on October 31-November 4, in San Francisco, California, in conjunction with the 86th IEC General Meeting (GM).
The in-depth, five-day workshop will bring together young professionals from around the world who are at the beginning of their careers in electrotechnical standardization and conformity assessment, and who have been selected and recognized by their IEC National Committees.
This year, the USNC received excellent applications reflecting a number of well-qualified candidates. As with previous years, the 2022 winners were selected based on their demonstrated dedication in connection with standardization and/or conformity assessment activities; their vision of the larger commercial and strategic impact of standards and conformance work; and their accomplishments in their chosen field of activity.
The USNC represents U.S. interests in IEC standards and conformance activities, and is an integrated committee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The workshop is intended to cultivate long- term national involvement in the international arena, strengthen technology transfer, and encourage the participation of emerging professionals in shaping the future of these areas.
The USNC has named the following four IEC Young Professionals:
"Once again we were thrilled to have such an outstanding lineup of professionals this year," said Tony Zertuche, ANSI director, international policy, and general secretary of the USNC/IEC. "On behalf of the USNC, I am pleased and delighted to announce that these top achievers have been selected to participate in the IEC Young Professionals 2022 Workshop."
