Help Us Honor the Legacy of Our Fellow Auctioneers

As we prepare for the 2026 WAA Convention, we will be taking time to recognize and remember auctioneers who have passed on. To ensure we honor each individual with the dignity and appreciation they deserve, we are asking members to share any photos, written memories, newspaper clippings, or meaningful stories you may have.

These tributes are not limited to those who passed away this past year—we welcome memories of any auctioneer you would like to have remembered. Every contribution helps us celebrate their impact on our industry, our communities, and our association.

If you have items to share, please email them to info@wisconsinauctioneers.org. Thank you for helping us preserve their legacy and keep their stories alive within the WAA.
