About

Who We Are…

We are part of the National Speakers Association, the leading educational and networking organization for experts who speak professionally.

Our mission is to Help Our Members Excel....through Education, Exposure, and Enlightenment.

The National Speakers Association (NSA)was founded in 1973 by Cavett Robert, CSP, CPAE, who had a vision for an organization where professional speakers could convene to improve their presentations, exchange ideas and share experiences. Cavett felt that everyone involved in the speaking profession would benefit from growing the number and quality of professional speakers. He referred to it as "making a bigger pie."

Since it was founded in 1980, NSA-Houston has been an organization of experts who speak professionally. It is a dynamic group of speaking professionals, a community where the pursuit of knowledge and the sharing of ideas is a way of life. NSA - Houston offers learning opportunities, friendship, participation, and growth. With us, you're never in business alone.

Our membership consists of full-time and part-time speakers, keynote speakers, seminar leaders, corporate trainers, independent trainers, workshop leaders, consultants, authors, speaker bureaus, and vender members.
