Divisions
Joining Division Committees allows your organization the opportunity to host and drive the agenda for events and annual conferences that bring together major players in their community to interact on current issues and work directly with the NDIA’s Strategy & Policy Team to provide input and commentary on government policy and legislation that impact the industrial base.
To see a list of our divisions and their committees, click here.
Chapters
NDIA’s Chapters are the grassroots of the Association. Located in areas of concentrated defense activities, Chapters collaborate with government and industry to facilitate important discussions about critical national defense issues with local impacts.
Participation in your local NDIA Chapter will give you an opportunity to network at local events, meet others involved in the defense industry, and strengthen professional relationships through small, informal venues. Click here to learn more about NDIA Chapter activities, missions, and contacts.
Policy Working Groups
NDIA's internal Strategy & Policy (S&P) Team acts as a resource for all our members' policy needs and serves as a thought leader throughout the defense and national security community. The S&P Team manages multiple Working Groups, which provide NDIA members the opportunity to engage directly on cross-cutting policy issues important to your organization and the defense industrial base. These include the Artificial Intelligence Working Group, Critical Minerals and Materials Working Group, Intellectual Property Working Group, and the Spectrum Working Group. If you are interested in joining one of the S&P Working Groups, please email regulatory@NDIA.org. To learn more about the additional work of the S&P Team, please click here.
