With Congress preparing for a debate on the Senate floor in the coming weeks, the National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE) invites you to participate in special series of conference calls for bloggers and online journalists to learn more about the nation’s smallest businesses, what they are looking for in health care reform and where the current health care proposals hit or miss the mark. For example, while politicians say reform is about lowering health care costs for Americans, the current bills will in many cases result in higher costs for the self-employed and micro-businesses, while delaying tax credit relief ...

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers 
Keith Hall - My official title at the NASE is COO, which I think is Latin for “do what everyone tells me to do.” I’m also behind the NASE TaxTalk program,
although I often feel like I’m under the NASE TaxTalk program. One of
my favorite things to do is laugh, second only to making a difference.

Molly Nelson - I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and
public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select
the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new
going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of
the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

Kristin Oberlander - In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the
association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I
enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will
cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding
creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair
and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way
stops.

Maureen Petron - I cover communications for the NASE, which means everything from the
member magazine to programs like our achievement award and college
scholarships (yes, I actually get to show up like Ed McMahon with a big
check twice a year!). In my fantasy world, I’d be a master chef, wine
snob and fast runner.

Kristie Arslan - I head up the advocacy efforts for the NASE, thus I spend most of my time on Capitol Hill educating legislators on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not running around trying to convince policymakers to pay attention to micro-business, I spend my time singing nursery rhymes to my daughter and helping my husband with his small business.
