MANCHESTER, NH – Leo Lambert, vice president and technical director at EPTAC Corp., has been inducted into the Raymond E. Prichard Hall of Fame, the highest IPC honor, for extraordinary contributions to the electronics industry and the IPC.
He received the award during IPC Apex Expo in San Diego during which his longstanding achievements were spotlighted.
Lambert has been vice president and technical director at EPTAC for over two decades, and a consummate contributor to the electronics industry and IPC for much longer. His involvement with IPC dates to 1976, where he first engaged the committee’s efforts was under Harris Electronics and later in his career, Digital Equipment for many years prior to EPTAC.
Through these efforts, Lambert has been chair and co-chair of numerous committees and task groups throughout the years and continues to serve in these roles today. As a participant in the Technical Activities Executive Committee (TAEC) and active contributor to IPC J-STD-001 and Handbook, IPC-A-610 and IPC-AJ-820 Handbooks, IPC-A-600, IPC-6012 and IPC/WHMA-A-620, Lambert has continued to support industry efforts to develop best practices and advocate excellence in electronics manufacturing.
Lambert continues to be a champion, supporter and occasional zealot for the promotion of the industries adoption of standards and their development. In addition, his efforts spilled over into the certification process, supporting these programs and nurturing them to where they are today.
“Leo’s accomplishments and awards are too numerous to mention in a release, but they only scratch the surface of the man we at EPTAC know”, comments Mark Pilkington, President and CEO of EPTAC Corporation. “It is an honor to work with someone with endless patience, a willingness to educate and guide everyone he comes into contact with and a selfless unjudging commitment to support not only everyone at EPTAC, but our client base as well. On a personal note, we are proud of his achievements, humbled to call him a friend and honored to play a small part of his journey for decades, whereas many have only experienced his presence briefly.”
