2:00 PM NDT MGMT SESSION I
to Jim Treat, Chuck Hellier, Co-Chair
6:00 PM Augusta
Introduction to the NDTMA
Management Training Program
The session is intended as an introduction to a three
module, three-year management training program
developed by Chuck Hellier and Jim Treat under the
auspices of NDTMA.
The management training program is designed to
present relevant management topics to personnel
who are currently in management positions and for
those who aspire to become managers and leaders.
While it will address effective management
approaches for the NDT industry, it applies to other
technical disciplines as well.
The program will begin with a half-day introductory
session in 2005, followed by three full-day sessions,
each in conjunction with an annual NDMTA
conference starting in 2006 and concluding in 2008.
As currently envisioned, the three-year cycle will be
repeated starting in 2009. The introductory seminar in
2005 will be open to all annual conference attendees.
Attendance at subsequent modules will be by
registration on a fee basis. A certificate of
attendance will be presented to individuals who
attend each one-day seminar. For those individuals
attending the three full-day sessions and successfully
completing the assigned program exercises in all
three modules, a Certificate of Completion of the
NDTMA Management Training Program will be
awarded.
