The Association of Professional Speakers
We're glad you're here.
Welcome to NSA Ohio, the association for professional speakers. We connect in many ways. Maybe you know one of our members. Perhaps someone told you, "You have to get involved with NSA Ohio." Maybe you found us online. Whatever your path, we're glad you found us.
NSA Ohio is a vital part of my life and I've made lifelong friends here as well. If you haven't already, you'll experience the figurative (and many times literal) hug from our professional community. Explore and let me know how I can help you.

Join NSA Ohio
NSA Ohio is the professional association for professional speakers based in Ohio. NSA Ohio members are often also members of the National Speakers Association (NSA). Our membership is made up of keynote speakers, trainers and coaches, and those that speak in their current occupation. Our members have a variety of experience and tenure in the profession ranging from decades in business to those that aspire to a professional speaking career.
NSA Ohio provides educational and professional development opportunities AND the opportunity to network with those active in the speaking industry. Within NSA Ohio you are encouraged to learn the business of speaking from those on the same journey as you are on now. Tenured members share with new members. We call it the Spirit of Cavett (Cavett Robert, the founder of NSA). This spirit focuses on creating a bigger pie with more opportunities for all of us.
Our members talk about the “NSA Ohio Hug”. This bond goes beyond professional networking to an organization where professionals who speak feel at home. We welcome you to join us.

“NSA and NSA Ohio have cut years off my learning curve! It's the best investment in 'me' I ever made.
I joined for the content and now remain a member for the community and connections. The ideas, advice, and friendship I get through my involvement with NSA is why I have been a member now for over 30 years. Not to mention that as a byproduct, I get leads and I get business from NSA.
