CLUB START-UP's
Welcome to NLA-International’s Club start-up page. For over 30 years the NLA has helped to form and create Chapters a.k.a. Clubs across North America as well as overseas in the nations of Australia and the United Kingdom.Most of our old chapters are still existing as alternatively named organizations. Something we take great pride in, as we see them as continuing to make an impact in their local communities. Our desire has always been to create BDSM/Fetish organizations in cities and locations where the communities need education and resources to build up their ability to perform activism or outreach.We offer several types of Clubs options, as seen below. We require that you must have five (5) people 18 or older to start one of these clubs. Each will be required to sign up for a one (1) year membership with NLA-International before the formation processes can begin. After one (1) full year of oversight, advisement, and interaction, the clubs are free to operate with no further oversite or input from the NLA Board. They will then be offered the opportunity to join as an Affiliate Club and continue to advertise their events to the membership and public through our resources.We desire to continue building clubs, events, and organization that impact our lifestyle.
