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:
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“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)
