What Comes after CAI?

CAI is the highest level of auction‑specific education we offer. This spring , we’ll preview a new next‑step pathway for CAI‑level professionals through a pilot partnership with the Kelley School of Business (Indiana University)—covering advanced business leadership topics like AI, finance, strategy, and negotiation. Details will be shared with attendees at 2026 CAI and CAI Next.

Mission & Vision

The National Auction Association serves auction professionals by providing services built on four cornerstones: Advocacy, Community, Education, and Promotions.

Our vision is to be the unified voice of the auction profession, championing the interests of auctioneers everywhere.

Values Statement

We intentionally welcome all auction professionals. We do this without adherence to any social, religious, and/or political affiliation or creed.

We endeavor to foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other.
