National Association for the Self-Employed Announces New Local Representative

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 20, 2008 – The National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE) has announced that Bill Cummings is the new membership representative in the Asheville area. The NASE was formed in 1981 by a group of micro-business owners seeking the kinds of benefits and services once only available to large corporations.

The NASE is the nation's leading resource for the self-employed and micro-businesses, bringing a broad range of benefits to help entrepreneurs succeed and to drive the continued growth of this vital segment of the American economy.

For more than 20 years the NASE has helped micro-businesses become more competitive by providing benefits and services to meet its members' professional and personal needs. Members can enjoy discounts on more than 100 business and personal tools, including office supplies, credit card processing services, travel and auto rentals.  Access is also available to affordable health insurance underwritten by Mega Life & Health Insurance.

Members also have access to useful information through a Web site at www.nase.org, a bimonthly magazine, and free business and tax advice. In addition, the NASE has a full-time legislative staff in Washington, D.C., to give its members a strong political voice and the negotiating power that comes with group size.
