肯代尔酒店管理学院的副教授被选为国际标准化组织代表美国的主席
Sue Tinnish帮助发展了全球可持续会展管理系统
芝加哥——2011年7月12日，肯代尔酒店管理学院宣布：副教授Sue Tinnish成为国际标准化组织（ISO，International Standards Organization）美国代表团的主席。这种特殊的国际标准化组织，也被称为ISO20121，将会为会展制定一个可持续的管理系统标准。Sue Tinnish获选，是因为其在美国各地在拥有制定可持续会议政策和标准的丰富经验。在ISO20121进行的过程中，Tinnish将在2012年第一季度代表美国进行这份工作。
ISO是世界上最大的非政府国际标准发展商和出版商。ISO的标准是通过163名成员达成的一致意见建立的，它必须满足企业和社会的需求。每个国家都有投票权，Tinnish将代表美国投票。
肯代尔酒店管理学院院长Jeffrey Catrett表示：“Sue能够代表肯代尔大学和我们国家制定2012年奥运会和世界其它类似活动所必需的可持续标准，对此我们颇感自豪，Sue能为国际会展行业可持续性制定政策和标准，对我们学院的学生也是极有裨益的，学生能够从行业专家那里学到有关目前行业趋势的第一手信息。”
在作为代表服务期间，Tinnish也在伊利诺伊州莱尔班尼迪克大学（Benedictine University）攻读了组织发展的博士学位。她于上个月获得博士学位。她的论文主要研究了ISO标准的发展过程。她的论文其中一方面讲述了ISO20121在行业应用中已经出现的障碍和促进。她计划将她的论文研究改成学术文章，进行行业出版。
Tinnish25年的职业生涯中做了许多工作：产品发布、销售、销售管理和运营。她曾是SEAL Inc.的创立人，在加入肯代尔大学之前，担任花旗集团（Citicorp）和富国银行（Wells Fargo Bank）的副总裁，进行金融服务的工作。此外，Tinnish也曾在国际会议专业人士协会（MPI，Meeting Professionals International）担任主席（芝加哥分会前主席），她也是芝加哥大学女子商业集团（University of Chicago Women’s Business Group）成员。作为认证ROI专业人员，Tinnish已正式加入芝加哥名人堂（Chicago Chapter Hall of Fame）。而且，她曾荣获MPI总裁奖（2001-2002）、MPI年度经理奖（1999-2000）和MPI年度委员会奖(1999-2000)。2011年2月，她成为绿色会议产业协会（GMIC，Green Meeting Industry Council）年度可持续性会议的演讲嘉宾。

Kendall College School of Hospitality Management Associate Professor Selected to Serve as U.S. Chair for International Standards Organization (ISO) Effort
Sue Tinnish helps develop worldwide sustainable events management system
CHICAGO—July 12, 2011—The Kendall College School of Hospitality Management announced that Associate Professor Sue Tinnish is serving as the Chair for the US delegation in the International Standards Organization (ISO). This specific ISO effort, called ISO 20121, will develop a sustainable management system standard for events. She was selected based on her experience in developing sustainable meetings policies and standards throughout the United States. In this role, Tinnish will represent the U.S. through the first quarter of 2012 when the standard, ISO 20121, is expected to be completed.
The ISO is the world’s largest non-governmental developer and publisher of international standards. Standards are developed in agreement among the 163 members, and must meet the needs of both business and society. Each country is allotted one vote, and Tinnish will vote on behalf of the United States.
“We are extremely proud of Sue for representing Kendall College and our country in shaping sustainable standards that will be integral to the 2012 Olympics as well as other similar events around the globe,” said Jeffrey Catrett, dean of the Kendall College School of Hospitality Management. “Sue’s role in shaping policies and standards on sustainability in the global events industry is truly a benefit to our students, who get to learn firsthand about current trends in the industry from a bonafide expert.”
While serving as delegate, Tinnish also pursued a Ph.D. in Organization Development from Benedictine University in Lisle, Ill. She was awarded her Ph.D. last month. Her dissertation work focused on the ISO standards development process. One aspect of her dissertation addressed the perceived barriers and enablers to industry adoption of ISO 20121. She plans to turn her dissertation research into scholarly articles for industry publication.
Tinnish’s 25-years of business experience span product launches, sales, sales management and operations. She served as the Founding Principal at SEAL Inc. and worked in financial services as Vice President for Citicorp and Wells Fargo Bank prior to joining Kendall. Additionally, Tinnish served as president of Meeting Professionals International (Past President- Chicago Chapter) and is part of the University of Chicago Women’s Business Group. As a certified ROI Professional, Tinnish has been inducted in the Chicago Chapter Hall of Fame. In addition, she has been awarded the MPI Presidents Award (2001-2002), MPI Chapter Manager of the Year (1999-2000) and MPI Committee of the Year (1999-2000). She was also named a featured speaker at the Green Meeting Industry Council’s (GMIC) Annual Sustainable Meetings Conference in February 2011.
