How Do I Become a Member of a Cornerstone Committee?

The four cornerstone committees form the foundation of the National Auction Association. They offer an ideal pathway for members interested in developing leadership skills and potentially pursuing a future role on the Board of Directors. These committees are self-selecting, with current members reviewing applications and choosing new participants to join their ranks. If you’re ready to take an active role in shaping the association’s future, we invite you to apply for a committee below.

The application window opens each spring, and all submissions are carefully reviewed during that time. If you’re ready to take an active role in shaping the association’s future, we invite you to apply for a committee when the application period opens.
