Two new committee members will join the Advocacy Committee as of Conference and Show 2024. Terms are for three years and committee members are expected to take a very active role in the planning and implementation of Advocacy Cornerstone Committee efforts.
The Advocacy Committee looks for opportunities to advocate for the auction industry, whether that be in a governmental space or the private sector. A passing familiarity with auction law is helpful, but not mandatory. This committee drives strategy for the Advocacy Cornerstone as well as creating the framework for tactically achieving those goals.
New committee members are recommended by the Advocacy Committee to the President and then to the Board of Directors for confirmation. The Chair and Vice Chair are elected by the Advocacy Committee members.

- Participate in monthly to semi-monthly virtual meetings

- Share NAA content on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube
