About us
When it comes to your speaking business, we know that you want to be a catalyst for change. In order to do that, you need resources and insights to grow your business and master your craft. The problem is the daily grind of running your business is getting in the way of sharing your message which makes you feel overwhelmed and discouraged. We believe the world NEEDS to hear your message and it shouldn’t be so hard to get it out. We understand it’s hard to work so much and not see your business grow which is why for nearly 50 years the National Speakers Association (NSA) has helped tens of thousands of speakers propel their business through three simple steps: connecting with the community, tapping into member-exclusive resources, and plugging into national and local events. Stop sitting behind your desk, drowning in to-do lists, and instead get out there and change the world. Visit JoinNSA.com to get started today.
