As you may well know, the NPA is a non-profit organization supporting pawnbrokers worldwide. The NPA does not charge pawnbrokers to attend the Legislative Conference annually, as the NPA Board of Directors recognizes how incredibly important this grass roots work really is at both the state and federal level. With that said, we could use some assistance in covering the costs for this important event and appreciate any/all support by way of sponsorship.
