The second thing to look for when choosing your auction company is,
Association Membership
Are they members of their State and National Auctioneers Association?
Each State has a local group that meets to set policies, provide education and conduct competitions for awards. Idaho has a great State Association called the Idaho Association of Professional Auctioneers, of which I am a member and also 2007 Past president.
They just finished their Winter Convention held in Boise and what a great time it was. I was even fortunate enough to win first runner-up in the bid calling championship!
The NAA is the National Auctioneers Association of which I am also a member. This takes everything to a higher level. Randy Wells of Post Falls will be the President in 2009. What an honor for Idaho to have him in their leadership.
OK, no more horn tooting. But you can see how being an active member of a State and National organization gives you the edge over non members. And isn't that what you want in a profession you seeking to hire? The best there is?
Until next time, Happy Bidding
