NAPBS
The National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) exists to promote ethical business practices, promote compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and foster awareness of issues related to consumer protection and privacy rights within the background screening industry.
Founded in 2003 as a non-profit trade association, NAPBS serves to represent the interest of companies offering employment and background screening. NAPBS offers an opportunity for qualified companies to participate in shaping the body of knowledge and regulations impacting our futures.

BROA 
The organization was formed in 1962 by a group of concerned rental property owners. It was founded for the purpose of serving the interests and welfare of its members who are owners and operators of rental housing properties. The association seeks to protect private property rights from the inroads of government controls, and to advise and disseminate information to its members relative to the more economical operation and maintenance of their rental properties.
Washington Landlord Association (WLA)
Started in 1996 under the name of Olympic Rental Association as a registered tax-exempt service organization, Washington Landlord Association soon found the need for a state-wide landlord organization to most effectively deal with legislative and local issues. Dealing with the same state and human rights laws, the WLA members encounter the same landlord problems and successes, no matter what part of the state. Exchanging their experiences and ideas has become a major resource for the entire WLA membership through the 22,500 annual mailings of WLA's Quarterly (newspaper). In other words, the full scope of WLA's services are best realized with the pooling of resources and communications throughout the WLA's local meetings regularly held at over 15
The LandLord Association of the Inland Northwest, a private non-profit corporation, was formed in 1971 by residential property owners and managers concerned with creating and maintaining an atmosphere in which small (or large) private enterprises could survive the increasing demands made by government agencies, legislative action and tenant groups.
NAHRO
The purpose of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) is to be the leading housing and community development advocate for the provision of adequate and affordable housing and strong, viable communities for all Americans, particularly those with low- and moderate-incomes, and to enhance the professional development and effectiveness of NAHRO's members.
