“If you are interested in giving back to your NLA and the industry, I strongly urge you to consider running for the NLA Board,” said NLA President Robert Alexander of RMA Worldwide in a weekly letter to members. “Serving on the NLA Board is both an incredible honor and huge responsibility. Board members devote time and money away from their own businesses for the betterment of the NLA and industry as a whole. Not only do Board members spend hours on monthly calls and at in-person meetings throughout the year, but they also serve on various committees to pioneer new programs and initiatives to benefit NLA members.”
In an effort to attract new Board members, Alexander said that the NLA is planning an informational session featuring current and former Board members to answer any questions operators may have about running for and serving on the Board.
“We have had so many wonderful industry leaders step up each year to dedicate their expertise and support to the NLA, and I am sure we will see excellent candidates step up this year as well,” added Alexander. “We are always look for fresh ideas and energy to continue the NLA's legacy and make it even better.”

After more than a year of anticipation, it’s hard to believe that the CD/NLA Show is just over two months away. We’re beyond excited to bring the industry event of the year to the Gaylord Texan on October 10-13.

Not only will you able to take advantage of our early-bird rate (ends August 13), but if you register and book your room at the Gaylord Texan for three nights, you’ll be put in the running to win a full show pass to our 2022 show in Las Vegas. That’s a $500 value! Don’t delay, because this exclusive promotion expires on Thursday, August 12. And don’t forget, current NLA members save an additional $75 off the admission price, which lets you save even more money.
