An Honorary Member is a person of acknowledged eminence in the domain covered by the Society or is one who has been recognized as a benefactor to the Society through services such as being an officer in the national Society. In 1990, the award was renamed in honor of Philip D. Johnson, who cofounded ASNT and nurtured it through its first three decades. This award is the highest which the Society bestows.

Nominations for Honorary Membership may be made by Honorary Members, members of the Philip D. Johnson Honorary Member Award Committee or by at least 10 members of the Society distributed among at least three sections. The application, stating the qualifications of the nominee, must be presented to the Awards Committee for consideration. The Awards Committee submits the nominee to the Board of Directors, who then elect the Honorary Member by a majority vote. No more than one Honorary Member may be elected during any one membership year. Honorary Memberships are presented for the life of the individual.
