In summer 2025, NALCAB launched Marla on the Road, a national tour to connect directly with members. Our first stop: New York City!
Amongst the clouds of the New York City skyline, NALCAB hosted a Cafecito at member organization, Qualitas of Life Foundation, and met with 10 member organizations from across the Tri-State area. Conversations focused on affordable housing and the latest on the CDFI Fund — ensuring member voices guide our priorities.
