Chair’s Column
Kevin Schnepp - California NCWM Chair Measuring What Matters
We have navigated another season as the National Council on Weights and Measures, and the work of “Measuring What Matters” presses on. The past year has witnessed the kick-off of the successful NCWM EVSE Training and Certification Program. The first two events were booked to capacity. While the Board elected to launch this value-added service, its success was due to the efforts of the task group led by Mahesh Albuquerque and to collaborations with NIST, industry representatives, and regional subject-matter experts. The demand for this type of training is evident by full registrations, and we look forward to hosting additional training events across the regions while creating additional device-specific training courses to meet the educational needs of regulators and industry. I want to thank members of the Professional Development Committee for answering my challenge to create more value for membership during their agenda review and presentations. Education and training are critical needs, and the PDC is responding with ideas to better address these needs at our Interim and Annual meetings and throughout the year. To facilitate this effort, a Committee Coordinator has been established for the PDC. I am pleased that Jerry Buendel has agreed to serve in this role. Jerry has been instrumental in developing and modernizing our professional certification exams, and his experience will be essential as we create value-added content for membership through the PDC. We have grappled with some challenging proposals on our committee agendas that led to the formation of multiple task groups addressing Moisture Loss Consideration, Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems, Weigh-in-Motion, Electronic Temperature Compensation for LPG, and LMD Density Correction.
