Welcome to our dedicated page for our ASA Standards Working Group Volunteers. We invite you to join an ASA Standards Working Group and apply your expertise and experience to shape and develop ASA Standards for the acoustics field.

ASA Standards Working Groups allow you to: network and share best practices with your peers; leverage new skills and knowledge for your specialty area; and contribute to the growth of acoustics across industries through standards development.

Please note that if ASA Standards is listed as Chair on a working group web page, this indicates the working group is either inactive, has been disbanded or there is no current working group chair. Please reach out to us at standards@acousticalsociety.org for more information.
