News & Events
2022 Convention in Orange and National Directory Institute Presentations

The presentations from the 2022 Convention and the 2022 National Directory Institute have been posted to the Members section of the NADD website.  The Members section is password protected with a single password that has been emailed previously to all NADD members.  If you cannot recall that password, please send an email to admin@nadd.org so we can send it to you again.

For those of you who could not attend the convention or NDI this year, we missed you!  We hope that you will find the availability of these presentations to be a useful benefit of your membership in NADD.

NADD Mobile App!

​The NADD Mobile App, for smartphones and tablets, contains much of the same information as the website and even allows members to register for the 2021 Convention!

By turning on notifications for NADD on your device, you will be able to receive notices and information from the Association whenever there is a need for us to quickly reach out to the membership.

The development and deployment of the NADD Mobile App is a significant step forward toward the implementation of the Vision and Priorities Plan.  The App will be regularly enhanced so that NADD members will have the resources they need both in the office and on the move!
