The Silent Auction is held during the Wednesday reception before the annual banquet and features an interesting array of items up for bid. All proceeds benefit the National Administrative Law Judiciary Foundation which is the educational arm of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary. One of the Foundation's major purposes is to promote the study and research of administrative law and distribute this knowledge to the administrative judiciary and the public. To further its mission, NALJF has endowed a Fellowship to encourage research and scholarship for improving administrative justice. 

Conference attendees have the opportunity to bid on and win some unique items, while at the same time benefiting the NALJ Foundation. Everyone who participates by donating, bidding, or both, plays a major role in assuring that the good work the Foundation does continues. Donating an item or service is also an opportunity for a tax deductible contribution to NALJF, a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

What to Donate?

Something unique from your state, city or area of the country can help make the auction a special event.

Suggested items are:

• state gift baskets
• art
• the use of vacation homes
• gift certificates
• business services
• jewelry
• wine and spirits.

This is a great chance to highlight your state, alma mater or your own particular skill set.  In past years, there has been wine from all parts of the country, inspired gift baskets, dining certificates, books, jewelry, hand-made quilts, artwork, sports memorabilia, a unique trip, or other special treats. There is literally something for everyone at the auction and NAALJ members make this happen!

Next Steps:

1. Email naalj@naalj.org and include a couple clear pictures of the item, a short description, and a suggested minimum bid.

2. Bring your item to the conference and set it up in the auction room.

NOTE that the silent auction is open to conference attendees. Winners are responsible for transport or shipping of their items.
