Why?

Another egregious conflict-of-interest by agency owners.

These are trade organizations that organize conferences. They are not lobbying organizations. It is not their fault that a lobbying organization does not exist. The last few days of picking of INA on this site has been a real demonstration of people not understanding how the world works. If you want to lobby congress, you have to organize people, raise money, and basically, just like anything else, do it yourself. Though really, I would focus on improving employment laws for nannies, not on involving job posting sites in the enforcement of current laws. I just don't think there is that much to be gained pushing all the illegal jobs to Craig's list.
 
www.nanny.org (INA) says:

"The International Nanny Association (INA) encourages you to be aware of any propositions or pending legislation that may have an affect on the in-home child care industry. Please notify the INA Governmental Affairs Committee of any such action in your own state or on the federal level, so that our membership may help direct and educate the legislators who are involved. INA must be a proactive association and we value your input."
 -INA Governmental Affairs Committee

9:36 seems to be an INA agency board person attempting to confuse the public, but please feel free to clarify your motives. "

i am not 9:36 nor with INA but your post proves 9:36's point - that you do not understand how lobbying and trade associations often differ. the INA posting above basically says "share info w/ us so we can share it w/ other nannies". It does not suggest that INA would actually organize active lobbying itself as an organization on a topic. [/quote]
