The Toy Association launches the Toy Desk to connect members with resources, expertise and services

The Toy Association has launched the Toy Desk – a support hub designed to connect members with the Association’s resources, expertise and services.

The Toy Desk provides a single point of entry for questions, requests and support needs. Through a streamlined online submission process, inquiries are routed directly to the appropriate Association team, helping members quickly access the information and guidance they need.

Members can use the Toy Desk to submit inquiries related to events and experiences, networking opportunities, policy and regulatory developments, tariffs and trade issues, safety and technical guidance, promotional opportunities, general membership support, and more.

The launch is the first phase of a broader initiative focused on modernising member engagement and services. Future phases will build upon the Toy Desk’s foundation with additional capabilities and enhancements.

“The Toy Desk reflects our ongoing commitment to putting members first and continually improving how we serve the toy community,” said Greg Ahearn, President & CEO of The Toy Association.

“The Toy Desk is an important step forward in strengthening that commitment. By creating one welcoming front door for support, we can point members to the right resources and expertise across our organization.”

The Toy Desk has a mascot in Gilbert, named in honour of A.C. Gilbert, inventor of the Erector Set, Olympian, entrepreneur and Founder of The Toy Association.

Members can access the Toy Desk on the Association’s website under the Services tab.
