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
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 Michigan requirements for the
continuing education credits needed annually by real estate licensees. This course is held
in conjunction with the annual convention. |
MSAA on the Web |
|
The MSAA Website, an 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 Convention and Summer Seminar, 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. |
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. It also hosts fantastic networking through golf, skeet shooting, a texas hold em tournament and more! |
The Michigan Auction Gavel |
|
The Michigan Auction Gavel, an Award
Winning Publication, is the official publication of the MSAA and
is published on a quarterly basis. It is the information source for the association,
containing information of benefit to members, advising them of association activities,
upcoming meetings and current issues. |
Annual Directory |
| The annual directory is published in the spring
issue of The Michigan Auction Gavel each year and lists all current members of 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. |
Advertising Contest |
|
If you produce professional advertising pieces, this is an opportunity for you to
showcase your work. A number of categories are available, and winners are awarded plaques.
Whether new or experienced, a previous winner or a first-time entrant, you have an equal
opportunity to garner a prize. Categories include auction promotion and company promotion. |
Photography Contest |
|
For this competition, members have an opportunity to submit photos taken at their
