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!
