Enhanced Education and Training Opportunities

Education and training are core components of what we do here at NAAA. We are focused on providing the best possible benefits and training opportunities to our members and are committed to being a resource for our members to learn new skills and stay up to date on the latest industry trends.

We are pleased to offer multiple training opportunities at NAAA’s Annual Convention in Dallas, September 6-9, 2022. Topics covered will include security, standards, and leadership.

We are continuing to further develop and promote NAAA’s Workforce Initiative, including adding a search function to our live job
board. We are also continuing our HR Peer-to-Peer Exchange program for auction HR professionals to share best practices, and we will also be developing a young leaders program to help cultivate the next generation of auction professionals as they move into leadership positions.

Privacy Pam, which will be offered to our members, is a privacy and security training program that reinforces current best practices about data security. By taking the training, users will learn about data privacy laws and regulations and will learn valuable information about keeping their auctions and customers safe from security and privacy breaches. We will also be enhancing our Safe T. Sam training program by adding new certification videos about relevant safety topics in today’s environment.

Finally, as you will read in this issue’s cover story, we have launched the NAAA Arbitration Troubleshooter, which is an online tool that provides an avenue to connect with arbitration experts to learn more information.

We at NAAA are eager to offer these new education and training opportunities to our membership and look forward to working with
you all.
