Our History
The employer association concept has a long history dating back to the late 19th century. Employer associations were originally created to represent businesses in labor relations and negotiations.
Nevada Association of Employers was founded in 1938 as the Reno Employer’s Council. At the time, the organization worked closely with employers to help manage labor relations and workplace challenges.
Over time, as employment laws became more complex, NAE evolved into a comprehensive HR support organization providing services such as:

Nevada as a Right-to-Work State
Nevada remains a Right-to-Work state, meaning employees cannot be required to join a union as a condition of employment.
NAE played an important role in Nevada’s labor history. In 1952, the organization supported the successful ballot initiative that established Nevada’s Right-to-Work law.
As employment laws expanded over the decades, NAE continued evolving into a professional resource helping employers navigate complex workplace regulations and HR challenges.
