Organization
Las Vegas Dancers Alliance was established as a non-profit corporation in Nevada in the summer of 2002. Its purpose was to advocate on behalf of adult entertainment workers and meditate issues between its members and management. By October, club representatives had been elected from twelve of the twenty-one gentleman's clubs in the region and served as its Board of Directors. To lobby candidates and local officials, a political action committee was established (LVDA-PAC). A third organization was created in 2003 (The Committee to Protect Dancing). That organization educated its members on the initiative process and coordinated a signature drive to overturn the so-called Lap Dance Ordinance.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
