McKillop, PE, Senior Technical Advisor, has begun a three-year term as Senior Vice President of Standards and Certification for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

"Suzanne has consistently demonstrated a rare combination of technical excellence and visionary leadership throughout her career at MPR,” Tom Lubnow, MPR Principal Officer, said. “Her appointment to lead ASME's Standards and Certification Sector, reflects the trust the engineering community places in her ability to guide critical standards development in an era of unprecedented technological change.”
