The National Funding Association (NFA)

http://www.nationalfunding.org

The National Funding Association is a networking organization consisting of investment bankers, accountants, attorneys, brokers, venture capitalists, consultants, bankers, factors, specialty finance companies, and asset based lenders.

It was organized in 1991 in Charlotte by Bud Wilson, Warren Shinn and Barry Yelton for the express purpose of bringing together financial professionals to network among themselves. The association chapters have a monthly luncheon meeting, with a feature speaker, often one of the chapter members or an outside professional. The NFA currently has chapters in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, New York and Richmond,.

It is not in competition with any other association, their website states, as its focus is strictly networking, not turnaround management or training.
