NSA Central Florida

Big cheers for a very big milestone.

Today we are celebrating Sandy as she officially earns her CSP, Certified Speaking Professional designation. And if you know Sandy, you know this has been a long time coming.

Yes, she is an exceptional speaker. Clear. Compelling. Commanding in all the right ways.

But more importantly, she is an exceptional human. The kind who shows up early, stays late, lifts others up, and quietly makes everyone around her better.

The CSP is earned. It reflects years of excellence, impact, professionalism, and consistent delivery at the highest level. Few speakers worldwide hold this designation. It is not a participation trophy. It is proof.

Sandy, we are beyond proud of you.

You represent what it means to lead with both skill and heart.

Our chapter shines brighter because of you.

🚨 Scam Alert 🚨
⚠️ Heads up, NSA family!

We’ve learned that a few chapters have had scammers send out very real-looking emails to their members. In one case, the message appeared to be from the chapter president, asking people to buy gift cards to “support a Veterans Hospice Care Unit.”

It may have looked legit, but it was 100% a scam.

Rest assured, our board will never reach out asking you to purchase gift cards, money transfers, or anything like that. If you get an email that feels off, don’t click, don’t reply, just let us know right away.

Thanks for staying alert and helping us keep our community safe!

From her powerful presence on stage to her generosity off stage, Sylvie embodies what it means to lead, give, and inspire.

Recently honored with the CPAE Award, one of the highest recognitions in the speaking profession, Sylvie continues to raise the bar for all of us.

We’re proud to call her part of our NSACF family and even prouder that she invests back into our community as the sponsor of our Academy Scholarship.

What a meeting! 🎤✨

Today’s chapter gathering was full of energy, insights, and community. Huge thanks to Rick Lozano, CSP, for sharing incredible wisdom on how to differentiate yourself as a speaker. In a world where AI is everywhere and anyone can call themselves a keynote speaker, Rick showed us how to take it beyond just being credible—and step into being incredible. 💥 Be uniquely YOU.

If you haven’t met Rick yet, do yourself a favor, connect with him!

And if you’ve ever wondered what actually happens at our NSA Central Florida meetings… here’s a peek! We have fun, foster friendships, and fuel our future with industry insights. All while staying true to this year’s theme: Authenticity in Motion.

Shoutout to our newest members, gratitude to our Speakers Academy Co-Deans, appreciation for our Fast 5 presenters, and applause for our President, for keeping us aligned to this year’s theme: Authenticity in Motion.

Want to learn more? Come join us and see for yourself; connection, growth, and inspiration all in one room.

From the people to the powerhouse messages to the electric energy… WOW. Our NSA Central Florida chapter showed up big at National Speakers Association Summer Conference, Influence , and left feeling INSPIRED (and maybe just a little hoarse from all the cheering).

Check out some snapshots of our crew, including our very own President, Jeff Bledsoe connecting, sharing laughs, and soaking up every ounce of wisdom.

And the grand finale? The epic remake song all about NSA.

Pairing the first images to Sister Sledge’s "We Are Family" because truly, that’s exactly what we are.

Does it get any better? We don’t think so. ❤️✨

Big things are happening at NSACF!

This weekend, our board came together for a dynamic retreat to plan an exciting year ahead and let’s just say, if you’re a speaker (or speaker-in-the-making), you’re going to want in.

We’re bringing back the programs our members love and launching new ways to connect, grow, and thrive as communicators, leaders, and entrepreneurs.

And here’s the mic-drop moment: NSACF turns 40 this June! That’s four decades of powerful presentations, deep relationships, and career-changing opportunities—and we’re celebrating in a BIG way.

If you’ve been looking for your speaker tribe, this is your invitation.
Come for the connections. Stay for the transformation.

Join us. Your next stage awaits.
