Dr. Nina I. McClelland, University of Toledo alumna, will receive the Wham Leadership Medal from the American National Standards Institute during a ceremony Wednesday, Oct. 5, in association with ANSI’s World Standards Week celebration in Washington, D.C.
The George S. Wham Leadership Medal honors an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the voluntary standardization community and provided long-term direction and visionary qualities in support of the ANSI Federation.
McClelland, a 1951 and 1963 UT alumna, became president and chief executive officer of the National Sanitation Foundation International in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1968. During her career, she has championed public health issues and raised purity standards for public drinking water. McClelland also has served on committees with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Centers for Disease Control.
McClelland retired from the NSFI in 1995 and founded a consulting service, continuing to share her expertise with international industrial and governmental clients. She is also a former chair of the board of directors for the American Chemical Society. In 2003, she received an honorary doctor of science degree from UT, and she was featured in the 2004 book, The University of Toledo Alumni Who Have Changed the World.
