As the voice of the auction profession, the NAA holds the mission to serve its members through the four cornerstones of promotion, advocacy, education, and community. The community cornerstone provides opportunities for members to engage and support one another throughout social media, events and virtual conversations.

Interested in joining the NAA Community Committee?

The National Auction Association is seeking passionate, forward-thinking members to help shape the future of our professional community. If you’re ready to build meaningful connections, foster member engagement, and support initiatives that strengthen the NAA network, consider applying for the NAA Community Cornerstone.

The application period for the 2026–2027 Community Cornerstone will be announced in the coming months. We encourage interested members to start preparing for the next cycle.

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible for the Advocacy Cornerstone, applicants must:

• Be a current NAA member for at least three years

If you meet both of these requirements, you’ll be eligible to move forward with the application process once it opens. If not, now is a great time to build your qualifications!
