Volunteer Networking
Volunteers are critical to PTDA’s success, donating time and
expertise to develop programs that benefit distributor and manufacturer

industry that relate directly to your own job responsibilities as well
as other jobs within your company.

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.
-

industry—both North American and abroad—in an informal
setting.
