The NDTMA (Nondestructive Testing Management Association) was formed over forty years ago to provide a forum for the open exchange of managerial, technical, and regulatory information critical to the successful management of NDT personnel and activities. The membership is comprised of delegates from member companies involved in the use, practice, and promotion of NDT. Although each member company designates one voting delegate, there are no restrictions as to the number of employees who may participate. For the most part delegates are NDT professionals, managers, and executives involved in furnishing or using NDT services or products.
