Committees
To volunteer for 2012, please contact PTDA at
+1.312.516.2100.
Volunteers are critical to PTDA’s success, donating time and
expertise to develop programs that benefit distributor and manufacturer
members as a whole.
In exchange, as a PTDA volunteer, you'll enhance your own
professional development:
Build a personal network of peers and business partners and
benefit from learning about the successes and failures of
others. Expand your knowledge of methods and resources utilized in the
industry that relate directly to your own job responsibilities as well
as other jobs within your company. Shape the industry with a personal impact on the direction and
development of PTDA’s programs, products and services. Pay it forward by giving back to an industry that has been
personally rewarding. Build and apply your personal management skills. Build and apply your facilitation skills. Improve your presentation skills.
When you volunteer, benefits also accrue to your company:
- Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your own company through
the development and use of resources that:
standardize transactional formats. quantify your value to customers. improve your customer service operations. offer low-cost product training resources for your
employees. prepare your employees for advancement in your
company. attract and develop the next generation of employees to your
company. create awareness within you of all of the above. create processes and procedures for disseminating this
information to the people you work with and your customers.
Explore and understand wider trends in the industrial
distribution industry—both North American and abroad—in an
informal setting. Build a network of business relationships with senior
executives in the power transmission/motion control industry, increasing
the speed with which business is accomplished. Elevate the reputation and visibility of your company within
the industry on many levels.
