The strength of an association rests with the volunteers who donate their time and expertise to help lead. NAHAD has multiple opportunities for members to get involved, whether you are interested in joining a committee or task force or volunteering to serve on the board of directors.


Volunteer on a Committee


During NAHAD’s Annual Convention last month, leadership unveiled a completely redesigned committee structure for NAHAD. The goal in doing so was to accomplish four key elements: create value, engage membership, offer opportunities for future leadership, and address industry needs. As a result, we are pleased to report that five new committees have been formed: Hose Safety Institute, Education, Membership, Industry Insights, and Technology – all designed to accomplish these key objectives and move the association forward.

Why does this matter to you? Because NOW is the time for you to get involved. Do you have a passion for technology and automation? Then brings your talents to the Technology Committee. Do you believe strongly in advocating for industry best assembly practices? Then the Hose Safety Institute Committee is your home. Regardless of your interests or level of expertise in the industry, NAHAD has a committee for you.

Please take a moment to learn about each committee’s new vision and objectives. Then complete the form below, selecting which committee you feel best suits you. Later this summer, you’ll be contacted regarding the next steps.

Prepare to truly make a difference as a NAHAD committee member.

  • 1) hose and connectors is a core product line for the company
  • 2) proven dedication to NAHAD through service on committees, number of conventions attended, etc.;
  • 3) holding a senior management position at the NAHAD member company in good standing.

Want to nominate yourself or a colleague? Complete NAHAD’s Nomination form and provide the information necessary to highlight why this individual is right for the NAHAD Board of Directors. Board members are traditionally selected by November of each calendar year and begin their three year term during NAHAD’s Annual Convention, traditionally held in April or May of each year.
