About us
Founded in 1980, The National Association of Sports Officials is the world’s largest organization for referees and umpires, boasting more than 21,000 members. Our officials maintain the highest level of skills - leadership, integrity, courage, decisiveness, judgment and mental toughness. These qualities are held in high regard by accomplished professionals in every industry.
The NASO Speakers Bureau was founded to reach outside of the officiating industry to provide corporations, associations and organizations with top-level sports speakers for corporate seminars, keynote addresses, conference, retreats or workshops. Imagine the entertainment and valuable takeaways provided by such officiating industry luminaries as Fox Sports analyst Mike Pereira, NFL referee Ed Hochuli, NBA official Joey Crawford or retired NHL referee Terry Gregson.
