Volunteers: A Critical Piece of the Association

IADD News,

April is Global Volunteer month and we are recognizing our volunteer team!

Volunteers play a role in developing new programs, creating technical content, contributing ideas and advising on the direction of the Association. Our small staff relies on volunteers to serve on committees and task forces, provide chapter and board leadership and to share their talents as technical writers and speakers. 

Our volunteers help bring you technical resources, education and connection.
 

Diecutting & Diemaking 101 Workshops

Industry veterans are sharing their knowledge through in-person, hands-on educational programs. Offering opportunities to go on-site and see jobs running on press.

Online Training Courses

Meeting the needs of your team across the globe – our Diecutting Academy online courses were created by industry experts and provide foundational skills to those new to the industry. Creating access to training anytime from any mobile device around the world.

Global Ambassadors

Our growing team of global ambassadors help connect with members and colleagues in their native language. Including translating some of our resources, to provide information in the way they want to receive it!

Committees

Grow your network by participating in one of the many committees at IADD. Most committees meet monthly via Zoom, making it convenient and easy to participate.

The Cutting Edge Magazine

Behind every issue of The Cutting Edge magazine are IADD technical writers. They provide their technical expertise on the latest trends and challenges.

TechTeam

IADD's panel of industry experts is ready to help IADD members with diecutting and diemaking technical troubleshooting. The team’s strength lies in solving unique, challenging and highly specific technical questions.

Online Resource Library

The IADD Resource Library makes it easy to access and purchase IADD technical articles, videos, manuals, guides and more! Our Education committee and technical writing volunteers actively review and produce new content to include in our library.

Come join the team! IADD offers a welcoming environment that helps facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing.

“I enjoy the sharing of information. Getting to meet people in the industry that I would otherwise not have access to. Learning about processes that I would not normally have exposure to.”

During the month of April thank a volunteer for their contributions to many of the benefits offered at the Association.
