Ann Laidlaw has been named the 2011 recipient of the Harold C Chapin Award, by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) for her outstanding service to the association.
Ms Laidlaw has been a member of the AATCC since 1979, and has served in the fields of research, education and outreach functions. She is also an active member of the AATCC’s research committees, administrative committees, and the Concept 2 Consumer (C2C) Interest Group, which she chaired for four years.
She has served on the AATCC Board of Directors and represents the association on the Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) and has also headed the US delegation for the ISO/TC38/SC1 Meetings held in Paris, France, during July 2010.
In addition, Ms Laidlaw has published several articles on colour technology in the AATCC Review, the AATCC International Conference proceedings and served as a co-author of the recently published AATCC Color Guidebook.
The Chapin Award was established in 1958 in honour of Harold C Chapin, professor of chemistry at Lowell Textile School, who served as national secretary of AATCC for nearly 25 years. The award is presented each year to a senior member, with at least 20 years continuous membership in the AATCC, who has contributed outstanding service, enabling the association to attain the objectives for which it was founded.
Ms Laidlaw will receive the Chapin Scroll at an awards luncheon on March 23, during the AATCC's 2012 International Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, US, which runs from March 21-23 at the Hilton University Place.
