Euphemistically it is more elegant to use 'an' before a word starting with a consonant if the sound of that consonant is a vowel sound. The acronym MLA when pronounced starts with the sound of 'e' so it should be written 'an MLA' But when expanded MLA stands for member of legislative assembly and hence we should write 'a member... assembly'.
