This year, the U.S. standards community will celebrate World Standards Day on September 22. To highlight the importance of standards to industry and government, the sponsors of World Standards Day, including NIST, are again holding a paper competition. The theme for the 1999 World Standards Day paper contest will be "Standards Development: Balancing Need and Speed". PRIZES: The author(s) of the winning submission will receive $2,500 and a commemorative plaque. Prizes of $1000 for 2nd place and $500 for third place may also be awarded. Winning papers will be published by ANSI, the Standards Engineering Society, and others. ELIGIBILITY: The competition is open to individuals in private sector or government facilities. The paper may be co-authored. RULES: The paper must be original and not previously published. NIST papers should be processed through WERB or BERB in the usual way. Entries must received by August 1, 1999. Contest rules and application forms may be obtained through the Standards Engineering Society home page at http://www.ses-standards.org or call Jean-Paul Emard at Electronic Industries Alliance, 703-907-7518. For further information contact Pat Cooke, 301-975-4033, patrick.cooke@nist.gov.

Last year, the Director of NIST appointed a task group charged to identify and make available an evolving system of leadership and management development and training options suitable for the NIST culture and research environment. A sub-committee of that task group surveyed about 1,000 employees including seniors managers, middle managers, and non-management staff. The results of that survey are presented on the website. In the coming weeks the website will be expanded to include the final report of last year's task group, and ongoing activities in this area. http://www-i.nist.gov/survey/
