Your Member Connection to the NAA
The NAA Ambassador Program helps turn membership in the National Auction Association (NAA) into a personal experience.
The NAA Ambassadors are engaged NAA members who genuinely enjoy welcoming people, making connections and helping others find their place within the association. They provide personal touchpoints at key moments in the new member journey and help create a welcoming experience at NAA events.
This is not a sales role or a formal mentoring program. Ambassadors are there to help another auction professional feel like there are people within NAA who know them, welcome them, and are willing to help.
