What is the CPAE? The National Speakers Association established the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE)® Speaker Hall of Fame to honor professional speakers who have reached the top echelon of platform excellence.
Admission into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame is a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism. Inductees are evaluated by their peers through a rigorous and demanding process. Each candidate must excel in the following five categories:
- Message
- Presentation & Delivery
- Experience
- Professionalism
- Collateral Material
What is the CSP Designation? The Certified Speaking Professional (C.S.P.) from the National Speakers Association is an earned designation in the speaking industry. To earn the C.S.P, speakers must be able to prove quality of speaking with a track record of excellence over a long period of time. Client evaluations over the course of 5 years are involved in the process. Less than 5% of professional speakers have earned the designation. Mike Domitrz received the C.S.P. in 2008.
