Golf, Getaways and Giving: Inside TRSA’s Silent Auction

TRSA members are stepping up to support the next generation of industry leaders – through contributions to the Silent Auction at the Annual Conference & CEO Summit, scheduled for May 12–14 in Napa, CA.

Proceeds will benefit TRSA’s Foundation, which funds scholarships, internships and industry research. The inaugural auction raised nearly $15,000 in 2025 – and this year’s goal is to surpass that.

The Silent Auction will bring together members for a shared purpose: investing in workforce development while connecting with colleagues.
