Hanley Wood recently announced that has signed an agreement with NADRA (the North American Deck and Railing Association) to become that organization's official media partner. As part of the agreement, Professional Deck Builder (PDB) and sister publication the Journal of Light Construction (JLC) have been named the official media brands of NADRA.
“The North American Deck and Railing Association membership is comprised of many of Hanley Wood’s audience segments including dedicated deck builders, remodeling contractors, builders, architects, home inspectors and others,” said Rick Strachan, President of Hanley Wood’s Contractor Group. “Hanley Wood and NADRA share in the mission of addressing important issues facing the industry, like labor shortages and training, and we’re excited to be partnering with them on initiatives such as these.”
"Hanley Wood is a leading publisher in our industry, and we are excited to continue working with them as we expand our interaction on their various platforms to share updates on code development, best practices, and industry innovations in backyard living and deck, dock, and porch construction," said Matt Breyer, President of The North American Deck and Railing Association.
In addition to being named official media brand, PDB is supporting NADRA’s Deck Safety Ambassador Program as well as NADRA’s National Deck Award competition, including coverage in a special supplement of PDB that will be circulated in both print and online through Hanley Wood’s network. PDB and NADRA have a long relationship, of course, having both been established by Terry and Diann Dempsey back in the early 2000s.
