158 I-CONNECT007 I REAL TIME WITH... IPC APEX EXPO 2023 SHOW & TELL MAGAZINE IPC Honors Commiee Volunteers Article by Patty Goldman • I-CONNECT007 T his 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 Chris- tina Rutherford of Honeywell Aerospace. The Goldman-Kessler Award for Commit- tee 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, nomina- tions 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 select- ing Hall of Fame members whose service to standards development is well-known and who have demonstrated the skills and prin- ciples that we believe the awardees should also have. The Hillman-Lambert Award was named for long-time standards committee volunteers David Hillman and Leo Lambert. Nominees for the Hillman-Lambert Award were: • Erika Crandall, TE Connectivity • Hermann Eicher, EPT Guglhoer GmbH • Michael Ford, Aegis Software • Joseph Kane, BAE Systems • Garry McGuire, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center • Christina Rutherford, Honeywell International • Zhiqian Sang, Hangzhou Dianzi University • Wei Wang, New H3C Technologies Co., Ltd.
