North American Branch

Institute Branches 

The Institute’s North American Branch was formed at a meeting held at the 2004 ASNT Fall Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first AGM was conducted in Columbus, Ohio, in October 2005. At the 18th AGM, held on 22 October 2024 at Las Vegas, the following officers were duly nominated and elected:

Chair
Mr B E Shannon

Vice Chair
Mr B Anderson
Secretary/Treasurer and Branch Welfare Officer
Mr R T Nisbet

Branch Representative to Council
Mr B E Shannon

The North America Branch is in many ways a virtual Branch, since it covers a large territory. The Branch is spreading the word about the benefits of joining BINDT and professional registration with the Engineering Council and continues to add members to BINDT and candidates for the various levels of registration.

The next AGM will be held alongside the 2025 ASNT Annual Conference on 7 October 2025 in Orlando, Florida. Further details are to be announced in due course.
