In this uncertain time, your MNLA Board would like to remind you that we are all fortunate to be in an industry that is still able to keep the doors open and, for the most part, continue working at a "social distance".  As we go through this, please remember that we are stronger together. Your Board and the entire MNLA staff are working for you daily.

Let's try to remain upbeat and look at opportunities to share the small victories with our customers and colleagues as a reminder that we will all get through this and be stronger for the journey.

To all of our valued Members - On behalf of the entire MNLA Team, we hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe during this difficult time. As the Coronavirus evolves we bring you these resources to help protect you, your business and your team. These can all be found below. Please note that changes are now occurring hourly and we recommend that you check these resources frequently to ensure that you have the latest information.
