The NLA also held a members-only meeting during the CD/NLA Show in Boston October 14, where topics of discussion included the upcoming election, the ongoing talks regarding a partnership between the NLA and The Transportation Alliance (formerly the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association), and opportunities for in-person discussion about the details of initiatives like the Chauffeur Driven/NLA partnership that was formalized earlier in the year and the No Operator Left Behind program, which is a two-part effort between both the NLA and Limo U.
The meeting was only open to current members in good standing, as they would be voting on the association’s recently updated bylaws. Some minor revisions had been made, which were approved during the meeting. The newly updated bylaws can be read in full here.
Additionally, the NLA welcomed more than 30 new members throughout the course of the show.
