Press Release on Kantara's 17065 accreditation - please distribute
Hi everyone, The UK government made a formal announcement and posted a blog about Kantara being the first conformity assessment body to be accredited to ISO 17065 to the DIATF. We have at the same time put out a press release. I have attached it to this email and I would ask you to please distribute it to your partners and other organisations you think would be interested and willing to share it as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Later today it will be posted on our website and on our LinkedIn profile. Please watch for those and be sure to like or repost. I appreciate your support. I am in London this week, and there has been a lot of talk and excitement about this milestone. I look forward to your ideas for how to promote this and the work of Kantara. Thank you for all you do and for being an important part of the Kantara leadership. Best wishes, Kay *Kay Chopard | **Executive Director* Email: kay@kantarainitiative.org <amanda@kantarainitiative.org> LinkedIn: @KantaraInitiative <https://www.linkedin.com/company/kantara-initiative/>
Great news and complementary to the pushes with the UK gov last week! We can/should leverage with common partners and members—and advance some of the practical efforts we are individually and collectively bringing to that market reinforcing the good work and necessity of Kantara assessments! Nice work—we will amplify through our channels! Best and travel safely!
