(ANSI: New York) -- To ensure that all stakeholders have ample opportunity to submit candidates for the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) 2009 Leadership and Service Awards, ANSI has extended the deadline for nominations to Monday, July 27.

The awards are presented annually as a part of World Standards Week to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to voluntary consensus standardization and conformity assessment programs, consistently demonstrating a commitment to their industry, their nation, and the enhancement of the global standards system.

Representatives of industry, government, academia, consumer organizations, and the U.S. voluntary consensus standards, and conformity assessment community, with the exception of current officers of the Institute’s board of directors, are considered eligible for an award. Recipients will be chosen from the list of nominees by an awards committee comprised of the officers of the ANSI board of directors.
