There are many benefits of belonging to the MSAA organization. Review them to see how joining can benefit you and help you obtain success. Don't delay - Join the MSAA!

Annual Conference

The annual conference is held in January of each year. This two day meeting provides educational opportunities for new and experienced Auctioneers alike. The advertising contest held at this meeting allows Auctioneers to be recognized for their creativity and professional image. Members look forward to the fun auction held in conjunction with the banquet. The fun auction includes a bid calling contest to select the champion bid caller for the year. The conference also provides required continuing education credits needed for other states' licenses.

Real Estate Continuing Education Course
Because so many auctioneers are also real estate licensees, MSAA offers a one-day course that meets the state requirements for the continuing education credits needed annually by real estate licensees. This course is held in conjunction with the annual convention.

Summer Conference

The summer conference is a second opportunity for education and networking with other auctioneers throughout the state. It is a one day program covering various topics and providing continuing education hours. To see coverage of the 2006 Summer Conference, click HERE.

The Michigan Auction Gavel
The Michigan Auction Gavel is the official publication of the MSAA and is published on a quarterly basis. As a National Award Winning Publication, it is the information source for the association, containing information of benefit to members, advising them of association activities, upcoming meetings and current issues.  The Michigan Auction Gavel has won several NAA Marketing Awards.  One Color Publication, Two Color Publication, Multi Color Publication and the first awarded Best of Show Award!

Annual Directory
The annual directory is published in the spring issue of The Michigan Auction Gavel of each year and lists all current members of the MSAA. This is an invaluable tool for becoming familiar with other auctioneers in your area and for locating individuals that you can contact for support in the industry.

MSAA on the Web
The MSAA website, a National Award-Winning Web Site, is a wonderful source of information for the auctioneer and the consumer. All MSAA members have access to the Online Auction Calendar, Upcoming Events, the Discussion Forum and many other options. Each MSAA Member is listed in a searchable directory for consumers to find an auctioneer that suits their needs.

Networking
Through the Annual Conference and Summer Conference, you develop contacts with other successful auctioneers. One of the most exciting aspects of these events is the opportunity to meet new people and share knowledge and information. Any auctioneer will directly benefit from these ideas.
