NACD Affiliate Programs
Chemical Supplier Affiliates
Participation in the Chemical Supplier Affiliate Program provides endless opportunities to interact with NACD member companies – the group responsible for the majority of chemical distribution sales in the Unites States.
Companies that are chemical supplier/manufacturer companies, but do not qualify for NACD membership; not equipment service providers. Companies must have greater than 50% of their annual revenue attributed to the manufacturing of chemicals.
Chemical Handler Affiliates
The NACD Chemical Handler Affiliate Program is designed for chemical handlers whose primary function excludes the supply, manufacturing, or distribution of chemicals.
The main focus of this program is compliance with the Responsible Distribution ProcessSM (RDP). RDP Verification is a condition of membership in NACD, and chemical handlers used by NACD members may be affected. Chemical handlers can be proactive by joining the Affiliate Program for Chemical Handlers and complying with RDP.
Non-Chemical Handler Affiliates
Non-chemical handlers that supply equipment and services to the chemical distribution industry are eligible to join the NACD Affiliate Program for Non-Chemical Handlers. This Affiliate Program was developed in response to multiple requests from non-chemical handlers for a more formal association with NACD members.

Attention all NACD Affilates - Call for Papers!
One great benefit available to NACD Affiliates is the opportunity to submit a proposal for speaker topic ideas for education sessions and/or articles. As an NACD Affiliate, your company has expertise and knowledge on many current trends and issues in the chemical distribution industry. Think about a speaker and/or topic your company can provide for purposes of educating NACD members. Ideas will be considered for the NACD Annual Meeting, OPSEM, Regional Meetings, the Washington Fly-In, and stand-alone educational sessions. Topics will also be considered for articles for NACD publications such as the Chemical Distributor magazine. For more information, contact Kristi Van Buren at kvanburen@nacd.com.
