National District Attorneys Association (NDAA)

View Agency

Founded in 1950, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) is a national, non-partisan, non-profit membership association that provides training, technical assistance, and services to prosecutors around the country in support of the prosecution profession. Proudly supporting over 6,000 members nationwide, NDAA represents state and local prosecutors’ offices in rural, urban and suburban jurisdictions. NDAA serves as a nationwide, interdisciplinary resource center for research, training, knowledge building, and accountability as it works to promote the fair administration of justice. Governed by a Board of Directors made up of appointees chosen by states’ prosecuting associations and current and past NDAA officers, our executive leadership, staff, and board members routinely provide expert policy advice, data, and testimony to the United States Congress and the Executive Branch on a wide variety of criminal justice issues. NDAA also provides amicus curiae briefs to the United States Supreme Court on decisions that impact the work of prosecutors throughout the country to maintain a high standard of ethics and professional responsibility. As the leading source of national expertise on the prosecution function, NDAA is a valuable resource not for our members, but also for the media, academia, government, and the communities our members serve.
