NAA Speakers Bureau

The NAA Speakers Bureau program hosts a select group of NAA-approved speakers, offering state auctioneer associations the opportunity to choose a subject expert for their annual meeting or conference.

NOTE: The NAA Board of Directors voted to offer up to $600 towards the cost of travel for speakers chosen from the NAA Speaker's Bureau! This has been a real benefit as the cost of travel continues to increase. To qualify for travel reimbursement, all requests for a speaker and the speaker's availability must go through NAA staff rather than directly between a speaker and a state association.
