About
NDIA is a 501(c)3 corporate and individual membership association that engages thoughtful and innovative leaders to promote the best policies, practices, products and technology to build a more responsive and collaborative community in support of defense and national security.
Ethics
NDIA is the national leader in promoting the highest level of business ethics in the defense and national security community. Our member companies have the highest calling to leadership in demonstrating ethical standards that are the benchmarks for the industry.
Policy Highlights
The NDIA Policy team monitors, advocates for, and educates government stakeholders on, policy matters of importance to the defense industrial base. Our mission is to ensure the continued existence of a viable, competitive national technology and industrial base, strengthen the government-industry partnership through dialogue, and provide interaction between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Policy team also represents NDIA in several inter-association groups representing the defense industry and the government contracting community including the Council of Defense and Space Industry Associations (CODSIA), the Acquisition Reform Working Group (ARWG), and the Industry Logistics Coalition (ILC).
Over the past three years, the Policy team has led NDIA’s Acquisition Reform Initiative. This effort has provided legislative recommendations to assist Congressional acquisition reform efforts, many of which were enacted or influenced final provisions in the Fiscal Year 2016 and Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense Authorization Acts. Policy staff regularly meets with key policy stakeholders, and manages Congressional interaction with NDIA Chapters and Divisions.
Why Join
With more than 1,700 corporate members and nearly 70,000 individual members, NDIA embodies the full spectrum of corporate, individual, government and academic stakeholders who advocate for best practices, products and initiatives to champion a vigilant and innovative industrial base.
As a 501(c)3 membership organization, NDIA is an honest broker that convenes legal and ethical forums where key defense community stakeholders can exchange ideas, information and perspectives to collaboratively build upon capabilities in support of a strong national defense.

NDIA PERSPECTIVE
The Association’s Next 100 Years
November, 2019As I reflect on my first 30 months as the National Defense Industrial Association’s president and CEO, I’m proud of our team’s accomplishments but, more importantly, excited about our future. I spent more than 39 years in uniform supporting and defending the Constitution, and when I retired, my main objective was to find a meaningful way to continue to serve. NDIA exceeded my expectations, providing me a unique opportunity to continue to contribute to our nation’s security.
