Welcome CSPs to the CSP-only Web site!
Here you will find the latest CSP news, events, marketing tools and documents, such as CSP Council minutes. Also housed on this site is your CSP renewal form.
CSP Renewal Process
The CSP designation is the only earned credential of the National Speakers Association. NSA confers this designation on those members of NSA and the Global Speakers Federation who have met the criteria and maintain membership in their home association. If a member chooses not to renew or to drop their membership, the credential is dropped as well. The good news is that maintaining your CSP is as easy as attending educational events and renewing your membership (either as a Professional or Emeritus member). NSA believes that one of the significant elements of the CSP certification is professional association. To not be a member of the association representing the profession and still be certified in the marketplace is outside of the professional standards of the CSP credential. Therefore, membership and participation in the association are required to maintain your CSP. The link to the CSP renewal form is posted here: 2011 Renewal of Certification Application
