Benefits

Here are just some of the ways you benefit from affiliation with NSA-IL: 

Professional Relationships - In the world today we define ourselves through our relationships. Members agree that the most valuable benefit to membership is the members themselves.  They are generous, friendly, and always willing to share their "secrets" with one another. "We don't compete, we compliment and teach."

Marketplace Awareness - This includes keeping up on how our business and the world are changing so we can change with it. Knowing our audiences is critical to our success. In any industry, people who do not adapt to the changing world go out of business, and ours is no different. We will keep you informed with our InfoBlasts, Fabulous Fridays, Content Crunches and our NSA-IL website.  Members of NSA also enjoy NSA’s Professional Speaker Monthly Magazine, the NSA website and the monthly NSA CD series, Voices of Experience. 

Business Management - You will continue to learn the ins and outs of the speaking business from the customer point of view. Who are the players in the meeting and convention business? What is changing in how clients are booking speakers? What are they looking for in a speaker? You also learn to stay up on the latest in office management, contact management, contract issues, royalties, etc.

Website Visibility- Professional Members will be listed on our NSA-IL website! Our website has links to your own personal website giving you more opportunities for business! We also periodically send out leads to Members via broadcast email for speaking engagements!
