Established in 1971, NACD has been creating connections and advancing stewardship of the chemical distribution industry for fifty years. 2021 has already been a whirlwind of a year, but we would be remiss not to take a moment to reflect on this huge milestone.
From starting our flagship Responsible Distribution program to mobilizing in the fight against COVID-19, we are in awe of what our association and our industry have been able to accomplish in the last fifty years. Visit our anniversary webpage to take a moment to commemorate on these landmark achievements.
None of these monumental moments would have been possible without our members and Affiliates—that’s why we can’t celebrate our anniversary without you! Here are a few ways that we can all mark NACD’s first half-century together.
Join the Conversation on Social Media
We’re proud of the work we’ve done together and want to help you showcase your part in the NACD community. Help us tout NACD’s 50 years of supporting the chemical distribution industry by updating any NACD logos on your communications materials – including letterhead, websites, social media pages, and others – and using our social media templates to share your NACD story on social media.

Attend our Events
Get ready for your shortcut to Washington with our newest event, Congress Connect! For the first two weeks in May, we’re coordinating legislative one-on-ones with your representatives in Congress to discuss pressing issues in our industry. This event is a crucial aspect of promoting and protecting the interests of the chemical distribution industry.
We know the past year has been challenging for everyone, and we’re proud to have found new ways to connect with each other virtually during this time. As NACD enters its 50th year, what better way is there to celebrate this anniversary than returning to in-person events? Assuming a positive trajectory of declining case rates and increased vaccination rates, we’re excited to kick off our return to in-person events at the 2021 ChemEdge Trade Show and Conference in San Antonio! On August 10-13, 2021, join us for training and education on issues important to chemical distributors, manufacturers, warehouses, and service support companies.
Our Annual Meeting will be held in Miami, Florida, from November 8-11. We're excited to reunite with industry leaders to learn new ways to lead high-performing companies, improve sales organizations, and better understand the challenges facing all of us. Like almost everything else about our lives, these challenges look much different than they did just one year ago, and we look forward to working together to address them as we have for the past 50 years.
Whether you’ve been with us for 50 years or 5, NACD appreciates everything our members have done to support the association and our industry. We look forward to celebrating this milestone together, and we cannot wait to see what we accomplish together moving forward.
