If the SPC role does not align with your interests, we encourage you to explore opportunities within AMPP’s Standards Committees (SC). AMPP’s Standards Program includes the following types of committees:
Standards Program Committee (SPC) refers to the governing body overseeing the AMPP Standards Program. The SPC is responsible for the policies, strategies, structure and procedures involved in the AMPP Standards Program.
Standards Committee (SC) refers to a formal standing body with a given scope of technical expertise and the responsibility for the development and maintenance of a portfolio of consensus-driven standards and technical reports in that area including the writing and consensus voting on the documents. The voting members of the SC shall serve as the consensus body for all documents balloted by the SC. The SCs report up to the SPC.
