The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) participated in the American Society for Association Executives (ASAE): The Center for Association Leadership Legislative Fly-in, which was held March 5-6, 2024 in Washington, D.C. The event offered an opportunity to engage with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and advocate for the passage of the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act (FITWA).
OSAP Member Garra Liming, ASNT's director of marketing and communication, represented ASNT at a meeting with congressmen and congresswomen to discuss the proposed legislation. The Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act aims to create more opportunities for Americans to pursue credential programs offered by professional societies and associations.
"ASNT supports the consideration, passage, and implementation of this legislation," said ASNT CEO Neal Couture, CAE. "If enacted, it would allow young people to use their 529 plans to pay for tuition, exam and supply costs associated with career technical education, such as NDE/NDT."
