Every Vote Counts
The 2012 election is important to TIA, its members, U.S. businesses,
and the nation as a whole. Education and action are the key to ensuring
leaders are elected who will reflect our individual preferences.
This "Election
Resource Guide" provides TIA members and their employees with
resources that identify how legislators and candidates stand on key
issues. TIA staff has attempted to identify only well-respected,
non-partisan information and voter guides that span National, State and
local elections. Also included are reminders on how to register to
vote. Every vote counts … members of the toy industry can
– and will – have an impact on the outcome of the 2012
election.

Corporate Social Responsibility
TIA seeks to educate, inspire and encourage members of the toy
industry to consider, adopt or strengthen responsible social and
environmental initiatives in areas as diverse as:
International Trade
As part of our ongoing efforts to keep members of the toy industry
apprised of global trade and customs issues that could affect their
international business operations, TIA offers timely information and
clarity on such key areas as:
Invention and Design
TIA does not itself accept inventions and/or design samples. We
do, however, offer a number of resources for those who are interested in
becoming a part of the toy industry. TIA’s Toy Inventor & Designer Guide is
an extensive how-to pamphlet outlining the steps involved in developing,
protecting, selling or manufacturing a new invention or design in the
highly competitive toy industry. Also provided in the Guide are
references to safety information and a list of resources (in the form of
organizations, publications and websites) that will provide further
information and assistance for aspiring toy inventors. A
directory of Inventors and
Designers who provide service to the toy and youth
entertainment industries is also available in the “Tools”
section of this website. Each directory listing includes contact
information, year of establishment and areas of expertise as identified
by the listing party. The directory includes both TIA members (indicated
with a logo) and non-members who have paid a fee to be included.
