Standards director of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), Mili Washington, has been elected to serve as the president for the Society for Standards Professionals (SES) Board of Directors.

IICRC chairman Pete Duncanson said the organisation was proud to see Washington’s knowledge, hard work and ability to lead recognized beyond the IICRC.

“For the past eight years, Mili has helped secure the Institute’s position as a standards leader in the inspection, cleaning and restoration industry,” said Duncanson.

The SES is a not-for-profit professional organisation for those in the standards industry, that provides opportunities for professional development through programs and services and to promote awareness, use and value of standards and conformity assessment.

Washington said she is looking forward to taking on the role.

“I look forward to working with a great group of standards industry leaders and truly giving back to the standardisation profession” said Washington.

For the past fifteen years, Washington has worked in the area of standards development and management. In her previous role as manager of standards and guidelines for the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), she oversaw three ANSI accredited standards committees that developed 20 ANSI standards for the occupational health and safety profession.

Washington is the committee chair for the SES Financial Audit Committee, and in her role as vice president oversaw the work of the SES Leadership Development Committee and the SES Awards Committee. Washington is certified by SES as a Certified Standards Professional (CStD).
