Volunteers are critical to PTDA Foundation’s success, donating time and expertise to develop programs that benefit distributor and manufacturer members as a whole.

• Expand your knowledge of methods and resources utilized in the recruitment, retention, onboarding, development and management of employees

• Improve your presentation skills

When you volunteer, benefits also accrue to your company:

• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your own company's talent development programs through the development of resources
• Explore and understand wider trends in the talent development field in an informal setting
• Build a network of business relationships with others who are seeking to better understand the new world of work
• Elevate the reputation and visibility of your company within the industry on many levels
