Mark is proud to have served as the 2003-2004 National Speakers Association President. With 3500 members, NSA is the recognized voice of the speaking profession.

Mark's NSA theme for the year is "Expertise to the Power of Eloquence." He believes that the substance of a speaker's message is as important as his or her ability to deliver it eloquently.

As President of NSA, Mark established a strategic initiative to define expertise. Mark believes that, "...the emphasis of expertise" will be "...critical to the long-term success of NSA, its brand and the speaking profession."
Mark invited some of the National Speaking Association’s leading experts to define expertise and the role it plays in professional speaking. The Expertise Imperative, a whitepaper that summarizes these expert’s findings and conclusions, is now available.
