Each year, the Wisconsin Auctioneers Association (WAA) works to protect and strengthen our profession—not just through education and networking, but by ensuring auctioneers have a seat at the table when laws and regulations are being shaped.
That’s why WAA Day on the Hill in Madison on March 11th is so important.
What Is Day on the Hill?
Day on the Hill is our opportunity to meet directly with state legislators and their staff to share who we are, what we do, and why auctioneers matter to Wisconsin’s economy and communities. This event is about building relationships, educating decision-makers, and advocating for policies that support professional auctioneers and the consumers we serve.
Why It Matters
Legislation impacts everything from auction licensing and consumer protections to sales tax rules and business regulations. If auctioneers are not engaged, decisions could be made without a full understanding of how our industry operates—and that can lead to unintended consequences for auction businesses and the public.
When WAA members show up in Madison:
-
Legislators see auctioneers as trusted professionals
-
Our industry becomes more visible and respected
-
We protect our ability to do business fairly and competitively
-
We help shape laws before they become problems
Stronger Together
One auctioneer can make an impression. A group of auctioneers makes a statement. Your presence reinforces that auctioneers across Wisconsin care about ethical practices, consumer protection, and maintaining a strong, professional industry.
