He will also organize seminars and events and support existing training and certification activities in the region, including liaison with existing regional training centers and distributors." “We’re thrilled to have Yury on board, and excited about the promise of engaging Russian companies in our standards development activities,” says David Bergman, IPC vice president of international relations.
