Auction Donations
NARTS will host Action Auction—our lively live auction—on Saturday, June 28, 2008 at our 21st Annual Conference in Indianapolis. Action Auction is a highly visible event held at our General Session following lunch. It also moves beyond the confines of the conference site, reaching out to the many visitors of NARTSWeb, our high-traffic Web site. Donating a product, service or gift certificate to Action Auction is a great way to highlight your company’s name.
