ASA Standards Enjoys Support from the Acoustical Society Foundation Through the Robert W. Young Award
The Acoustical Society Foundation provides support to the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) Standards program through the Robert W. Young Travel Award. The objective of this award is to provide financial sup- port to individual experts to participate in interna- tional standards meetings. The award was established in honor of the late Robert W. Young, an active partici-
pant in standards for many years.
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) meetings are typically held in international locations, which may represent a financial burden for some US experts. ASA Standards is an American National Stan- dards Institute (ANSI)-accredited Standards Develop- ment Organization and is responsible for developing the US position on all IEC and ISO standards related to acoustics. Therefore, it is critical to have expert repre- sentation of the US position at these meetings.
Previous recipients include experienced retired and semiretired standards experts, self-employed individu
als, educators, and employees of small firms. Bob Hell- weg of Hellweg Acoustics and Vice Chair of the ASA Committee on Standards (ASACOS) was a recent Rob- ert W. Young Award recipient. The stipend enabled him to travel to Milan, Italy, to participate in the meetings of ISO/TC 43 Acoustics and ISO/TC 43/SC 1 Noise.
ASA Standards Manager Neil Stremmel was asked about the recipients: “Given their breadth of knowl- edge and experience, these experts are an asset to ASA as well as the US and international technical commit- tees they support.”
ASA Standards travel awards supported by the ASA Foundation are currently available for international standards meetings in 2017. Details can be found at http://acousticalsociety.org/content/rw-young-travel- award.
A schedule of international standards meetings is avail- able on the ASA Standards site at http://acousticalsociety.org/standards/meetings.
