NAA Speakers Bureau

The NAA Speakers Bureau features a curated group of NAA-approved experts, providing state auctioneer associations with the opportunity to select knowledgeable speakers for their annual meetings and conferences.

NOTE: The NAA Board of Directors has approved a travel reimbursement of up to $600 for speakers selected from the NAA Speakers Bureau—providing meaningful support as travel costs continue to rise. To be eligible for this reimbursement, all speaker requests and scheduling must be coordinated through NAA staff. Direct arrangements between speakers and state associations will not qualify.
