      The Gold Standard in Motion.

      In 2026, AMPP marks five years as a unified global organization. This anniversary is an opportunity to recognize the people, chapters, and shared work that have shaped AMPP since 2021—from strengthening standards access and certification pathways to expanding participation and building a more connected global community. Throughout the year, members and chapters are invited to share their experiences, their work, and the impact they see every day across the industry.

       

      Why 2026 Matters

      Five years after coming together, AMPP has become a global home for the people who protect the world’s infrastructure and advance corrosion and materials science. Across industries and regions, members are maintaining critical assets, sharing technical knowledge, and helping shape the future of the profession. This anniversary is a chance to reflect that collective impact and the role AMPP plays in connecting and supporting it.

      What We’ve Built Since 2021

      Since AMPP was formed, members have seen meaningful changes in how the organization supports their work—from access to standards and training to clearer certification pathways and a broader global network. These improvements are felt in the field, in classrooms, and across chapters, strengthening how corrosion control and materials protection are practiced worldwide.

      This Is a Yearlong Campaign

      The fifth anniversary will unfold throughout 2026, with stories, features, and moments that highlight the people and work behind AMPP. It’s an opportunity to recognize the profession, share experiences from across the community, and stay connected to how the organization continues to grow alongside its members.

      AMPP is shaped by the people doing the work—across chapters, job sites, classrooms, and industries. Throughout 2026, you’re invited to contribute in simple ways, whether by sharing a moment from your career, a project you’re proud of, or a glimpse of your chapter in action. These stories and images help create a fuller picture of the community behind AMPP and the work that connects us.
