COMMITTEES

Seven committees serve the National Demolition Association (NDA). These committees provide a space for discussion of key demolition industry concerns and carry out the interests of the association's Strategic Plan. Through these committees, NDA members exchange information and ideas, provide guidance to the association, and develop programs and tools to meet the needs of our members and the industry at large.

HOW TO JOIN

NDA is always looking for passionate members who want to be more involved and volunteer for the association. Committee applications are accepted year-round and reviewed twice a year. The current application deadline to apply to volunteer on a committee is January 10, 2025. All applications are reviewed and approved by the President. If you are approved to join a committee, you can expect to start participating after 2025 Demolition New Orleans (March 5-8).
