Certified Speaking Professional Designation         Chip earned his Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation just 6 years after joining the National Speakers Association.  The CSP is the hallmark of the expert who speaks professionally. What is the CSP? The Certified Speaking Professional designation, established in 1980, is the speaking industry's international measure of professional platform skill. CSP is conferred by the National Speakers Association (NSA) only on those accomplished speakers 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. Why Should You Hire a CSP? It will make your job easier! The success of your meeting will be judged largely on the caliber, professionalism and appropriateness of the topic and presenter(s) you select. Choosing a CSP maximizes your opportunity of providing a speaker with a message that will focus, elevate and enhance your meeting and stick firmly in the objectives, attitudes and action plans of your attendees. How Many CSPs Are There? Less than 7% of NSA's members hold this professional designation. What Benefit Does a CSP Bring to Your Meeting? A CSP brings a proven track record of continuing speaking experience and expertise. CSPs are committed to ongoing education, outstanding service and ethical behavior. CSPs offer wide varieties of approaches, topics and styles. Only you can determine which speaker will best fit your needs.
