industry.
Executive Development Conference
While some may be born leaders, many of us need guidance to lead our
companies forward. Give your company a competitive advantage in
today's changing marketplace by transitioning key employees from
tactical managers to strategic leaders. The PTDA Executive
Development Conference assists future leaders in developing the
relationship-building skills they'll need to forge business partnerships
based on trust and communication.
Industry Summit Events for Next Gen Members
The PTDA's Industry Summit is about improving your business,
maintaining and creating partnerships and adding to the bottom
line. As a Next Gen, you face unique business challenges and
require advice and input from your peers. PTDA gives Next Gen
members an opportunity to build professional relationships with
other Next Gen members and to find out what other Next Gen leaders
are doing to tackle business issues, as well as having a little
fun at the Industry Summit.
At the 2009 Industry Summit, the Next Gen Roundtable was created
to give Next Gen leaders a venue to discuss hot topics and business
challenges in the industry. For discussion notes, click here.
Getting Involved In PTDA
Volunteering is a perfect way for Next Gen members to network and
develop leadership skills while working with other PT/MC
leaders to advance this distribution channel. PTDA volunteers
are critical to PTDA’s success, donating time and expertise to
develop programs that benefit distributor and manufacturer members as a
whole. PTDA has opportunities for you to get involved on a task
force and committee level. Committees and task forces are charged
with implementing the association’s strategic
objectives. More than 125 individuals volunteer in some
capacity each year.
