The PDPA is an organization that crafts solutions for the decorative painting industry through projects within our initiatives. With the help of our partners we provide information through publications and build programs that help professional decorative painters and our industry constituents. Our Board of Directors and Advisory Committee design projects under our initiatives like publications, accreditation programs etc., Then our partners sponsor these programs and after the projects completion, we release them to the industry.
Come be a part of the biggest grass roots movement in the decorative painting trade since the guilds of the 15th century.
