2011 was indeed a busy year. Your continued support allows us
to expand and improve the services we provide and the work we do on your
behalf. Several examples from this past year include:
- TIA’s extensive lobbying on the state level continues to be
impactful. TIA prevented more than 100 negative bills from being
introduced in 30 states in 2011, and reformed two critical laws that
passed in 2008. TIA also hosted a very successful California Toy
Day to educate state policymakers on the importance of the toy
industry.
- TIA worked extensively with Congressional members to pass an
important amendment to the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.
Thanks in part to TIA’s efforts, the amendment fixes many of the
“unintended consequences” of the CPSIA. We continue to work
with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ensure the toy industry
is not portrayed in a negative light.
- TIA continues to expand and improve its networking events. In
addition to 10,000+ buyers, this year’s American International Toy
Fair drew a surge in licensors (+8%) and entertainment executives
(+31%). Our inaugural Summer Networking Reception in New York City
brought more than 50 members together in a relaxed setting, giving
members time to catch up with their peers.
- The Toy Industry
Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the North American toy
industry, continued its work of serving children in need. This past
August TIF travelled to Norfolk, VA to distribute 7,000 toys to children
in military families. NBC Nightly News, which draws more than 8 million
viewers per night, was there to document this work as part of the
“Making a Difference on the Homefront” segment. This feature
gave viewers across the U.S. the chance to see firsthand the smiles your
donations bring to these deserving children.
- Your exclusive
member benefits programs including business insurance, low cost
shipping, specialized advertising and media planning services, retail
analysis consulting as well as discounts on TIA trade show space and
promotional opportunities are an added bonus that continue to help
improve your bottom line.
- We launched a Member-to-Member
Recruitment program which allows you to help strengthen the
resources and voice of the Association while earning yourself a discount
on renewal dues by recruiting a new member company to join.
This year, we are pleased to offer both Regular and Associate
members two efficient ways to renew your TIA membership –
