Tommy Williams, CAI and Dean Williams of Tulsa, Oklahoma received the fifth-time award July 21st during the NAA's 58th International Auctioneers Conference and Show in San Diego, California. The Diamond Gavel Award signifies and recognizes monetary contributions in excess of $100,000 by NAA members.

The National Auctioneers Foundation Celebrates It's Capital Campaign Success at the Conference & Show in San Diego
The NAF capital campaign “Investing in Our Future” continued to culminate its active member phase and celebrated its success by hosting a special reception for all “Investing in Our Future” donors to recognize those who have aided in the development of the Foundation. Our goal is to raise funds to (1) Expand research that can assist members in navigating the marketplace to position themselves for success, (2) Provide national public relations to promote the benefits of the auction method of marketing, (3) To preserve the rich history and tradition of auctioneering by building a state of the art interactive virtual museum that can be used as a marketing tool, (4) To help renovate the NAA headquarters.
NAF Children's Auction The NAF Children’s Auction is always the highlight of the whole conference. The kids who participated in the auction were absolutely terrific. They had an opportunity to auction off items that were donated, to be a bid assistant or be a ring person. There is no doubt many of these kids will be our auctioneers of the future. Because of the many participants and the help from the current and past IAC champions, the Children’s auction was a huge success. The auction brought in a gross total of $1690.00. Thanks also to Yoder & Frey and some of the past IAC champions for sponsoring refreshments for this event as well. Thanks also to Robert and Melissa Storment for providing auction items for this event. |
