National Legacy, Local Impact

NSA Houston is a proud chapter of the National Speakers Association, founded in 1973 by Cavett Robert, CSP, CPAE, who envisioned an organization where professional speakers could connect, collaborate, and grow together. Cavett’s philosophy was to “make a bigger pie,” believing that when speakers support each other, the entire profession thrives.

The CSP Designation

One of the highest honors in the speaking profession, the Certified Speaking Professional® (CSP) designation, represents a standard of excellence held by fewer than 10% of speakers worldwide.

Awarded by the National Speakers Association and the International Federation for Professional Speakers, the CSP recognizes those with a proven record of:

Speaking expertise
Outstanding client service
Ethical behavior
Commitment to lifelong learning

Many of our NSA Houston members either hold or aspire to earn this prestigious designation.
