ASTM International membership pays off for both employees and employers—empowering professionals while strengthening the organizations they represent. That’s why the most strategic employers encourage their teams to join. At technical committee meetings, employees will gain early access to cutting-edge knowledge and insights — fueling innovation and accelerating product development within their organizations. 

Here’s why employers should encourage their teams to join: 

• Shape the Future: Committees give employees a powerful voice in developing the standards that define your industry. 
• Drive Innovation: Standards help transform your company’s ideas into marketplace-ready solutions. 
• Gain Market Intelligence: Committee meetings provide real-time insights into trends, challenges, and opportunities. 
• Expand Influence: Build relationships with regulators, experts, and industry leaders that open doors and grow business. 
• Build Industry-Specific Skills: Employees sharpen technical expertise that directly strengthens their daily work. 
• Stay Ahead of Change: Be at the forefront of emerging technologies and policies shaping tomorrow’s market. 
• Protect Your Interests: When standards impact your industry, having input ensures your company’s perspective is represented. 

By engaging with ASTM, employers position their businesses at the cutting edge — avoiding the risk of falling behind competitors, missing key regulatory connections, or losing influence over critical standards. ASTM membership develops stronger employees and keeps your business leading the industry forward. ●
