Scam Alert
It has been brought to our attention that there's an online organization – the National Association of Business Leaders – that you may hear about. They are using a combination of MELG and other non-profit sites to complete their identity and offer services such as a line of credit for small businesses and membership dues of $695. Be assured that they aren't affiliated with us or any other association in our building! (2/4/10)
