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 get more involved and help shape the future of the association. Committee applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, and applicants will receive confirmation of receipt within two weeks of submission.
