Hall Receives 2010 ASTM International Award of Merit
Darla Hall, co-founder of Research Vibe LLC, received the 2010 ASTM International Award of Merit which is the highest society award granted to an individual member for distinguished service and outstanding participation in ASTM Committee activities. Hall was recognized for a decade of contributions to Committee E18 on Sensory Evaluation in the area of workshop development and membership education. The workshop series hosted both by ASTM and the Institute of Food Technology Continuing Education has allowed nearly one thousand participants, professionals in sensory consumer and market research, to benefit from learning opportunities ranging from translating consumer needs into successful products to leveraging technology to transform sensory and consumer research.
An active ASTM E-18 Committee member since 1986, Hall has served as an executive committee officer and currently co-chairs the standard writing task group on Qualitative Consumer Methods.
ASTM International is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards to improve product quality. Future educational workshops will be offered by the Society of Sensory Professionals, who meets in conjunction with the ASTM Committee E18 every two years.
