The National Federation of Independent Business, Louisiana’s leading small business association, has named Bradford Felder to its state Leadership Council.  As a member of NFIB/Louisiana’s 18-member Leadership Council, Felder will assist in developing the association’s statewide agenda and building strategies to support small business throughout the state. Leadership Council members are nominated by either NFIB’s state director or current members and elected by the council.

“The small business owners who serve on our state Leadership Council not only advise NFIB on key issues but also are strong advocates for small businesses, telling our story to state and federal lawmakers,” said Renee Baker, state director of NFIB/Louisiana.

“Brad brings tremendous energy and experience in dealing with the legal issues facing Louisiana’s small businesses,” Baker said. “We’re glad to have him on board.”
