G.O.A.T. SOCIETY MEMBERS The Greatest of All Time

The National Auto Auction Association has formed a G.O.A.T. Society to bring together a nucleus of the organization’s
“Greatest of All Time.” All past presidents, Hall of Fame inductees, and Industry Pioneer award recipients comprise the new
group’s membership. An NAAA GOAT is someone who broke new ground in technique, subject matter, or ideas, had popular
appeal and a lasting impact on auto auction culture and represented the greatest work of the association’s most respected members and
colleagues. The G.O.A.T.s embody NAAA’s core values, and they serve as the spirit of the association. The Society’s mission is to never
forget those who have gone before us and to share in fellowship with those who are still amongst us as a reminder of their role in mak-
ing this association what it is today.
