What a great time to be an Auctioneer! Real Estate Auctions are hot;
Benefit Auctions are growing exponentially; the world is spinning
faster; (when McDonald's builds a new building, they have smaller
parking lots and two drive- thru lanes) the general public has come
to the realization that auctions are the "Preferred Method of
Marketing," a way to the highest price, in the shortest amount of
time, with the least amount of inconveniences. |
It is also very exciting being a member of the Missouri Professional
Auctioneers Association. The growth we have seen in membership has
been outstanding. Due the growth in membership, we will be able as
an organization to continue to expand the programs and education. We
have a great slate of directors and officers, and we are looking
forward to a very good year for the MPAA.
We want your input, we want you to be involved, please let us know
how we as and organization can help you and your organization. You
can't win if you don't play. So Come On, Get In, and Let's Go!!
