David A. Wollman, Deputy Division Chief, Smart Connected Systems Division of the Communication Technology Laboratory, NIST, and an original, founding Green Button Alliance Board Member — having served on the GBA’s Board of Directors since its founding in 2015 — took his (early) retirement from NIST at the end of April.

During his distinguished federal career, Dr. Wollman led many key programs and was recognized with several awards including two U.S. Dept. of Commerce Gold Medal awards. He also received a Silver Medal award along with colleagues Martin J. Burns and John A. Teeter (neither pictured) for Leadership on the White House’s Green Button initiative. Working closely with industry and other agencies, the team led the development of the technology foundation for Green Button, including standards, testing, and technical support for implementers. Dr. Wollman also holds three U.S. patents.

The GBA commends him for his many technical and industry achievements to-date and thanks him for his years of leadership on the Green Button Alliance's Board of Directors. Dr. Wollman was granted a Lifetime Membership in the GBA.
