David NLA stands for NATIONAL LEATHER ASSOCIATION which was the old name for the organization. This past year we rewrote our By-Laws and changed the name to NLA INTERNATIONAL due to our International membership. We have members is something like 13 countries so we wanted to make that fact part of our name. The name "National Leather Associations International" just doesn't cut it. Tonight or Tomorrow, I will upload and send you more info on the NLA. Since one of our main projects this year is to get more work out about the organization and to increase our communications not only among our members but also to the Leather/SM/Fetish community as a whole I am trying to find places on the net to do this. We are a 1000 member strong organization that is finghting for the rights of people in the Leather/SM/Fetish community of all sexual orientations,i.e. Gay/Lesbian, Hetrosexual, Bisexual, whatever. The main body of oru membership is from the Gay/Lesbian community and that is one reason that we would like a listing in the Queer Resources Directory. Thanks and if you have any other questions, please contact me. Yours in Leather David
