"During my 7+ years of helping national bands develop their non-traditional business, I have been a supporter of NACAS. In fact, whenever anyone is new to non-traditional, I explain the first place to start is to join NACAS and attend and support the Regional and National Meetings. I truly believe in the NACAS organization and look forward to helping us grow with other Business Partners."
- Tina Toole, Senior Director License Development, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group
