A Powerful Voice In Washington
Through the NASE, the self-employed and micro-businesses have a powerful voice representing their interests. The NASE has a strong track record of advocating for its Members on Capitol Hill. Through efforts like the online Legislative Action Center and the Tell Your Story initiative, the NASE provides an easy and timely way for micro-business owners to get involved and express their opinions to elected officials.
