Tim Gard: Awarded CPAE

The National Speakers Association's Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) Designation

What is a CPAE?

In February 1977, the National Speakers Association (NSA) 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 several categories: material, style, experience, delivery, image, professionalism and communication. The award is not based on celebrity status, number of speeches, amount of income or volunteer involvement in NSA.

To date, 181 men and women have been inducted in the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, with up to five inductees named each year. There are currently 121 living members of the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame.
