Committees

Seven ad hoc committees serve the National Demolition Association. These committees provide a space for discussion of key demolition industry concerns and serve to carry out the interests of the Strategic Plan. It is through these committees that 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.

In accordance with the bylaws, committee assignments are made once per year, after the conclusion of our Annual Convention & Expo. Our 2024 Call for Volunteers closed December 13, 2023. However, we are now accepting applications year-round. Applications are reviewed by the President at the Annual Convention & Expo and positions are officially confirmed at the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors, March 6, 2024.  If you are approved to join a committee, you can expect to start participating in all committee activities in spring 2024, after the conclusion of the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors.
