Do you know a committee that has great leadership, uses innovative approaches and promotes the involvement of developing countries?

Nominate it for the Lawrence D. Eicher Award.

The award recognizes excellence in technical work and is open to all ISO (and joint ISO/IEC) technical committees and subcommittees.

It was introduced in honour of Lawrence D. Eicher, ISO Secretary General  from 1986 to 2002, who sadly passed away while still in office.

Winners of the award enjoy increased recognition for their work, both within and outside the ISO community. For example:

• the award is presented at the General Assembly and is a chance to promote the work of the committee to assembled members,
• winners feature in an ISO press release and ISO Focus+ article, and
• past winners have enjoyed coverage outside the ISO community in trade and business press.
  

For more information about the award, including how to apply, please download the award brochure.

Nominations for the 2013 award are now open - download the nomination form.

Please send all nominations to tmb@iso.org before 12 April, 2013, (please note: the original deadline of March 31 has been extended).
