Get Involved : How to Get Involved

 |
The best way to get involved is to find a current or proposed standard in which you have an interest or expertise, and begin at the working group level. ANS working groups are the actual writing committees that create the text of a standard. Alternatively, you can get connected with a sub-committee that deals with your area of expertise, and investigate if there is a need for volunteers or even propose to create a standard that's of importance to your field.
In any case, your first step is the volunteer form. Procedures of the ANS Standards Committee require that all standards volunteers be reviewed by the Standards Steering Committee (SSC) and that a volunteer form be kept on file at ANS headquarters. The SSC meets each June and November and reviews the new volunteer forms as a part of their agenda.
