National Speaker's Association - The Cavett Award
The Cavett Award is National Speakers Association's most cherished award. It is presented annually to the member whose accomplishments over the years have reflected outstanding service, respect, honor and admiration in the Association and the speaking profession.
NSA is proud to recognize the men and women who have made a difference in the lives of their audiences and other professional speakers. NSA's Co-Founder Cavett Robert, CSP, CPAE, was known to say, "It’s amazing how much people can do when they divorce themselves from concern over who gets the credit."
From guiding and inspiring other members to defining excellence on the platform, from exemplifying ethical behavior to selflessly devoting time to make NSA the premier organization it is, these members and non-members stand out as extraordinary and deserve a big standing ovation!
