National Speakers Association (NSA)
- CSP -- Certified Speaking Professional
- The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, established in 1980 by the National Speakers Association (NSA), is the speaking profession’s international measure of professional platform skill. CSP is conferred by the National Speakers Association only on those who have earned it by meeting strict criteria. The letters CSP following a speaker’s name indicate a speaking professional with proven experience who understands what is required and knows how to deliver client satisfaction.
- CPAE -- Council of Peers Award for Excellence
- In February 1977, the National Speakers Association (NSA) established the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) Speaker Hall of Fame to honor professional speakers who have reached the top echelon of platform excellence.
Admission into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame is a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism. Inductees are evaluated by their peers through a rigorous and demanding process. Each candidate must excel in seven categories: material, style, experience, delivery, image, professionalism and communication. The award is not based on celebrity status, number of speeches, amount of income or volunteer involvement in NSA.
To date, 173 men and women have been inducted into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame. Up to five inductees are named each year. There are currently 116 living members of the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame.

- The speakers listed on our site are a sampling of speakers we work with. We have access to thousands of speakers nationwide.
