Welcome to the NSA San Diego!
The Bad News—We’re not your typical NSA
Chapter…
The Good News—We’re not your typical NSA Chapter!
We focus on two things and two things,
only: Education and Community for professional speakers. We’re
here to provide you with top notch educational opportunities
designed for you, the PROFESSIONAL speaker. And we’re here to
connect you with your fellow NSA members.
We like doing things simply. We like having
fun. How cool is that?!
The result:
We are the only chapter in NSA that does
not charge chapter dues. That’s right! Most chapters charge
$100-$200 a year, IN ADDITION TO the monthly meeting fees and
the fees you already pay to National NSA.
How do we do it?
First, we utilize professional speakers who
are already traveling to our locale and we tap into our
local experts (San Diego is rich in speaker experience). When we
don’t have to pay for travel expenses, we’re able to pass that
savings along to you.
Second, our meetings are smaller and more
intimate than many other chapters. This is because our numbers
are not inflated by people who are thinking about becoming
speakers. Our chapter is made up of folks who are actually out
there speaking!
Our meetings do not tend to be held in
hotels. We hold meetings in friendly, informal settings like
local libraries, speakers’ homes and speakers’ offices. This
allows us to be more flexible and cut our expenses drastically.
Unlike other chapters who are locked into contracts and must
always hold their meetings on a specific date and time each
month, our times are flexible. With our model, we’re able to
meet during the week or on weekends, days or evenings.
How might you qualify and/or join us for
our events?
-
If you are already a member of The
National Speakers Association and you live in San Diego
County (or selected portions of Orange, Imperial or
Riverside Counties), you are automatically a member of
our chapter. That’s it. No dues, no hoops to jump
through, no red tape. [If you live in that area and
aren't getting emails from us, let us know and we'll fix
that!]
-
If you think you might qualify for NSA
(and, therefore, for our chapter) either now or in the
future, visit
www.NSAspeaker.org. You can click the "Join NSA"
option to learn about how NSA membership works.
-
If you’re not ready for NSA
membership (but aspire to be), send us an email with the
subject limne and we’ll keep you posted on the subset of our
events which are open to the public. There is no cost
to be on the non-member mailing list.
If you’re a professional speaker; if you’re
ready to learn and to share your expertise; if you’re ready to
laugh and have fun — then we hope to see you at our next
meeting. Join us! |
