Wendy Receives her BAS Designation

2009-08-14

Wendy was just notified that she has earned the Benefit Auctioneer Specialist (BAS) designation.  The National Auctioneers Association (NAA) Education Institute coordinates the Benefit Auctioneer Specialist 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 approximately 100 auctioneers across the country who have acquired the BAS professional designation.  

The final step in obtaining the designation is to complete an auction summary report, which is a complete case history of a benefit auction.  Wendy's report, which detailed the Christ Lutheran High School auction, was just reviewed and approved by her BAS instructor.  Wendy would like to thank Larry Abbe & Charlie Goldenstein from Christ Lutheran for their assistance while preparing the report!
