The undersigned acknowledges that he/she will receive, and be in posession of, Confidential Information belonging to NADCA, and that “Confidential Information” as used herein includes all information that is disclosed, or observed or developed by him/her, in relation to his/her service to NADCA, which is not generally available to the public. Confidential Information may be marked as such, or communicated as confidential, however, whether identified as confidential or not, the following information shall always be considered Confidential Information: all financial, strategic, membership, employment, legally sensitive actions or negotiations, draft documents (including but not limited to contracts, standards, certification programs, policies, etc...) and operational information.
The undersigned agrees to keep all Confidential Information confidential, and that such information will not be photocopied or otherwise reproduced or communicated, nor shall it be disclosed to any other persons without NADCA’s prior express written consent. The undersigned agrees that Confidential Information shall only be used solely for NADCA’s benefit and to that end agrees to adopt reasonable precautions to guard against unauthorized release of such information.

NADCA relies on participation and input from committee volunteers, who serve for one‐year appointments. Committee volunteers provide invaluable insight into the HVAC inspection, maintenance and restoration industry and, combined with the efforts of staff, produce the high quality member benefits for which NADCA is recognized.
If you have never served on a committee, you may be wondering what would be expected of you. More than 85 industry professionals played an active role in leading NADCA as committee volunteers. Some members were very involved at a “hands‐on” level, while others served in more of an advisory capacity, offering ideas and helping to define and evaluate proposed programs. As an HVAC cleaning professional, you have the in‐depth understanding of the industry required to help direct NADCA’s initiatives. You can help answer the questions, “Which initiatives should NADCA undertake, and what should these programs encompass?” Diverse member feedback enables NADCA to represent a broad range of interests throughout the industry.
Most committees meet via conference call a few times per year. Conference calls typically last no more than one hour. Committee volunteers are asked to participate in these calls whenever possible. Some volunteers may take on special assignments at the request of a committee chair.
