Welcome to the national speakers association of minnesota.

What makes NSA-MN the place to be for professional speakers? See for yourself...

Minnesota is one of the largest chapters of the National Speakers Association with a focus on two primary objectives:

  • Becoming a better speaker (trainer, consultant, coach, etc)
  • Building a better business

 
We have frequent chapter meetings, extended deep-dives, masterminds, a speaker’s academy, socials, a gala, and so much more to offer every one of our members. 

Probably the most outstanding reason to be part of NSA-MN is our community.  Our membership consists of professional keynote speakers, coaches, trainers, facilitators, and consultants whose expertise covers a broad range of topics, skills, knowledge, and experience.

Note From the President

I'm honored to serve as the 2026-2027 President of NSA-MN!  Our chapter is one of the oldest and most highly regarded in the nation. And the reason is simple: our members.

I’ve been an NSA member for 10+ years and speaking has always been part of my professional life, but what I didn’t always have was a community that understood what building a speaking business takes. Our business can be a lonely one, but NSA changed that for me – few things have shaped my career the way this community has. That's why this role is so meaningful for me. 

This year's theme will inspire and activate all of us whether you are building your business, sharpening your craft, or pushing toward what's next.

That's why our theme this year is Think Bigger. Build Smarter.

·      Think Bigger: Ideas that expand your thinking so you can set and achieve bigger goals.
·      Build Smarter: Insights and resources that sharpen your skills, strategy, systems, and network.

We're prioritizing top-level programming this year, featuring eight exceptional national speakers including three National Speakers Hall of Fame honorees. See our full lineup and calendar here LINK

If you're not yet a member: come to a program as a guest, meet our members, and see for yourself. Whether you're new, established, or still finding your way to the stage, there's a place for you here. Join us and learn more about membership here  LINK

See you in the room!

Warmly,


Jill J. Johnson, MBA, 
President, 2026-2027
