If you want to incorporate best practices and use industry standards for monetizing or measuring audience for your podcast or vidcast please join.
The Corporate Membership is designed for organizations that produce podcasts, video podcasts or other episodic content in downloadable form, or for companies that provide hardware, software, tools or solutions for podcasters or video podcasters. Corporate members may list up to five individuals as active members of ADM.

Nominations for board candidates are open to ADM members through September 2007.

Any ADM member can run for any of the elected positions. These include Executive Board (Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer), Advisory Board (11 positions), or Committee Chairs (5).
If you are interested in running for one or more ADM positions, please submit a brief summary of your background and ideas (platform) for each position for which you are running. Please limit the length to 250 words per position, and email your self-nomination(s) to nominations@downloadablemedia.org.
Self-nominations are open through October 8 at 11:59 PM EST (date could change). Election dates will be announced at the close of the self-nomination timeframe.
Only ADM members can run for an ADM position, so you must first join ADM before you can run. You may recruit anyone to join ADM and then run for a position. In selecting position(s) for which to run, please avoid any potential appearances of conflict of interest.
Self-nominations will be posted to this website periodically during the nomination period. Check back periodically to the ADM Election page to see who is running for ADM positions and the latest election updates.
