A Formal Membership Program — In Development

HWASC is developing an organizational and individual membership program for those who want an ongoing relationship with the Commission's work. Planned member benefits include:

Program briefings — regular updates on standards activity, research milestones, and certification development.
Early notice — notification of PINS announcements, public review periods, and calls for members as they open.
Event access — member registration for HWASC events, webinars, and workshops.
Recognition — acknowledgment of organizations supporting the development of a national competency framework.
Register Interest in Membership
Openness, always: Membership is never required to participate in HWASC standards development or to earn certification. Participation in consensus bodies is open to all directly and materially affected parties consistent with the ANSI Essential Requirements, and certification is available to all qualified candidates consistent with ISO/IEC 17024 impartiality requirements. Membership supports the work — it does not gate it.
