The Technicians Resource Development Committee (TRD) supports the goals of ASNT by advancing content and program offerings aimed at Level I/II practitioners. The committee’s purpose is to advise, assist, and provide a platform for initiatives supporting the recruitment and retention of NDT technicians, including but not limited to outreach, publications, and education, collaborating with other ASNT councils and working groups, as needed, in order to achieve organizational objectives. Part of this scope includes support of the NDT Technician newsletter, which publishes articles on relevant ASNT activities, technician spotlights, and discussion of current and advanced NDT methods.
