“NSA-Arizona 30th Anniversary Celebration”

The NSA-Arizona 30th Anniversary Celebration will offer both fun and valuable information. VOE Steven Cates will tell us the story of the origin of NSA and the formation of NSA-Arizona. Four NSA-Arizona past presidents (Mike Hayashi, Naomi Rhode, Glenna Salsbury and Ed Scannell) will share lessons learned from their experience as professional speakers along with humorous stories and anecdotes. This star-studded group of speakers has earned an alphabet soup of speaking credentials and awards including CSP, CPAE, and Cavett Awards, to name just a few. This is a rare opportunity to learn from some of the most experienced and best-recognized speakers in the profession!

The meeting will conclude with a special celebratory cake and time to enjoy the company of your fellow speakers. We hope you will be able to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime event!
