National Independent Laboratory Association (NILA)

A trade association for independent laboratories that provides
a forum for the sharing of technical and business expertise
   

NILA focuses on business/management issues facing laboratories, such as marketing/sales, contracting with managed care companies, finding and keeping good employees, financial management, expanding test menus, managing growth, competing with big, publicly traded laboratories, and acting on legislative and regulatory issues facing the laboratory industry.   

NILA membership is by laboratory, not individual.  Each member laboratory receives two individual director/owner memberships.  These individuals must also be executive officers of the laboratory member, i.e., CEOs, CFOs, COOs, presidents, vice presidents, etc.  A laboratory can add additional individual members by paying the applicable membership fees.
