Wisconsin Auctioneers

WAA Day on the Hill
2025-03-12 08:00 - 13:00 UTC | Wisconsin State Capitol, 2 E Main St, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
Join us to advocate on behalf of WAA and its issues in the State Capitol. Meet with your local lawmakers and educate them on WAA issues. Be part of the “Selling in the Round” Auction in the Capitol Rotunda.

This day is to promote relationship building with your Local Elected Officials. Some of our Association members already have strong relationships with the Local Elected Officials, however some also need to enhance or initiate the relationship.
We encourage each of you to schedule an appointment with your Senators and Representatives, (or staff). Afterwards, we will meet in the rotunda and do a brief program about the Auction Industry and some chanting.
This visit is about building relationships between state officials and the auction professional. We look forward to seeing you in Madison.
We NEED participation from all members…
…and Wisconsin licensees who have an interest in becoming a member.
To make the Day on the Hill successful, we encourage you to:
Contact fellow auctioneers in your area to encourage participation (possible carpool)
Contact your Representative’s office to let them know that the WAA will be visiting Madison
Contact our office at info@wisconsinauctioneers.org to let us know that you will participate in the event.
