About PDMA
PDMA's mission is to improve the effectiveness of people engaged in developing and managing new products - both new manufactured goods and new services.
About PDMA Los Angeles
Welcome to the Los Angeles chapter of the Product Development & Management Association. The Los Angeles chapter was formed in late 2005 as an extension of the SoCal chapter (www.pdmasocal.org) which meets in Orange County (Irvine) and also serves San Diego.
The Los Angeles chapter was fully sanctioned as an independent chapter in February 2006 and now serves the interests of Los Angeles-area product development and product management professionals and businesses.
