Mentoring is an important activity that the Section Operations Council of ASNT intends to honor by offering an award to outstanding mentors of the past and present. Realizing that mentors have probably touched every person in the Society at some time, this award may be presented to more than one honoree. The maximum number of recipients in any given year will be five. The award is presented at the annual Fall Conference.

The award for outstanding mentor was established to recognize those people in the Society working to encourage others to reach goals they may have otherwise not sought and to offer the rest of the membership an example of what they could be accomplishing by acting as mentors. With the understanding that mentoring may take many forms, the following eligibility categories have been established:

Individual – Assisting one or more individuals to reach goals in the NDT industry that they may have not otherwise attained.

Group – Providing positive guidance to a group such that a goal of significant value to ASNT or to the NDT industry is achieved by that group.

Indirect – Providing mentoring opportunities for others by creating an environment that fosters and encourages such relationships with positive outcome.
