Being a member of ASTTBC hasn’t entailed anything for me thus far, as a student member, other than to continue my education. ASTTBC is a regulating body of technology professionals with a goal to safeguard the public from inferior professionals completing work that would have a poor outcome. The mission of ASTTBC is to “contribute to a safe, sustainable society and environment by regulating technology professionals.” Going forward with my career, I’m committing to continued learning each year and have to apply for certain designations within ASTTBC to maintain that regulated standard of excellence.
