I joined NLA because someone that I knew last year was in the organization and recruited me during UNI Day at the Capitol. When I met Kristina then, she was kind and helpful explaining the organization and the process of being involved. As a current member, I’ve received a lot of professional experience like attending a leadership conference, participating in service projects, and holding an executive position. NLA is a great opportunity to be involved in the UNI community, gain leadership experience, and build your network!
