More Details about NSAT...

As a state chapter of the National Speakers Association (NSA), the National Speakers Association Tennessee (NSAT) goal is to help you get what you want out of your speaking business. Feel free to check out the rest of our web site.

We bring in top notch professional speakers to provide quality programs. Each meeting is themed around the National Speakers Association's eight core speaking competencies of Platform Skills, Communication Techniques, Business Management, Professional Relations, Topic Development, Sales and Marketing, Authorship/Product Development Skills, and Professional Awareness.

Our members have been speaking from two months to twenty years. Some are polishing their talents and speaking for free while others have created a highly lucrative and successful speaking business. All levels of ability are welcome and we encourage everyone to also become members of the National Speakers Association (NSA) as soon as possible.

Meetings are held the second Saturday of the month (details on the home page).

We begin the bonus session (NSAT members only) at 8:00 AM, the meeting starts promptly at 9:00 and we finish formally at 12:00.

There is no dress code for our meetings. You will see everything from jeans and T-shirts to men and women in professional business attire.

Business casual dress is suggested, however, it's certainly up to you.

If you decide to join NSAT, your annual investment is $160 ($120 for NSA members) with a per meeting charge of $20.00 to help offset the room and beverage costs. Those just checking us out are asked to pay $40 per meeting. If you decide to join at the meeting, you're $40 will be applied toward your annual members dues. If you feel our business building meetings are not worth $40, we offer a full refund.

As a member, you will get the fabulous NSAT newsletter, your own web page on our site which can be hot linked to your personal web page, and a listing in the NSAT membership directory which is printed once a year and sent to meeting planners, bureaus, area businesses, and our members.

You will also get the chance to be a NSAT showcase speaker. This is your opportunity to show your best stuff at a chapter meeting.

Our members see the biggest benefit to joining being the incredible fellowship and learning that takes place at every one of our meetings.
