This year, IPC introduced two awards as a way to show appreciation for its standards development volunteers and leaders. The Hillman-Lambert Award for Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Michael Ford of Aegis Software and Christina Rutherford of Honeywell Aerospace. The Goldman-Kessler Award for Committee Leader of the Year went to Bob Cooke of NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
The new committee awards process was developed to allow committee leaders and members to participate and to make the committee awards more significant to the awardees. For these first awards, nominations were open to all volunteers and leaders whose groups had completed their standards projects between October 2021 and October 2022. A Nomination Committee (of members who volunteered to participate) was then formed to review and judge all nomination packets for identifying the winners.
Names of the awards were chosen by selecting Hall of Fame members whose service to standards development is well-known and who have demonstrated the skills and principles that we believe the awardees should also have.
