The Philip D. Johnson Honorary Member Award is given to a longtime member (minimum 20 years) who has provided meritorious service in the technology of nondestructive testing and is appreciated at the national and possibly international level. The award celebrates individuals who have dedicated their careers to advancing the field of NDT and have made significant, lasting contributions to ASNT and the broader NDT community.
Named in honor of Philip D. Johnson, who co-founded ASNT and guided it through its first three decades, this award is the highest lifetime award bestowed by the Society.
