An award for meritorious service is presented to the person contributing the most outstanding service in a given year in the field of standards. The original ASTM-SES Award was established in 1956. The name was changed to the one now in use in 1978, and it is administered by SES — The Society for Standards Professionals.
Roger’s work with F45 has been extremely noteworthy, and the Painter Award was especially suited to the proactive mindset he has brought to F45 and the rapid evolution of its standards activity.
