The National Auctioneers Association (NAA) Education Institute
coordinates the Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS) designation program. The
BAS program trains auctioneers to enhance their benefit auction services. Coursework focuses on the fundraising
components of the benefit auction event, item acquisition, audience
development, contractual agreements, and public relations. A newly
developed designation, there are less than 100 auctioneers across the
country who have
acquired the BAS professional designation.
