Government Policy Advisory Division (GPAD)
Government Policy Advisory Division (GPAD): GPAD is the policy integrating mechanism of the association comprising representatives of NDIA's national board of directors, other division chairs, as well as chapter presidents. Together they assist in the policy agenda development process as well as the educational awareness process.
The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) is the premier association representing all facets of the defense and technology industrial base and serving all military services. The mission of the Government Policy department is to ensure the continued existence of a viable, internationally competitive national technology and industrial base, strengthening the government-industry partnership through dialogue and interaction between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Government Policy entails three primary roles:
-
Advocacy (legislative, regulatory, and judicial)
-
Information/Education (Issue Briefs/Alerts, studies/analyses, hearing summaries, and symposia/seminars)
-
Interactive Communication/Dialogue (members network, homepage, and survey/reports).
The GPAD Agenda outlines specific areas of interest for Government Policy.
