Auctioneers Receive Honor at NAAA

By Staff Writer October 04, 2019

Andy White and Joseph Mast received the National Auto Auction Association's Bernie Hart Memorial Auctioneer Award for 2019.  Chad Bailey, outgoing NAAA president, presented the award at the organization’ 71st annual convention.

Named in honor of Bernie Hart, who served as NAAA's executive director for more than 30 years before retiring in 1988, the annual award
recognizes the industry's most visible person.


Both auctioneers work at Akron Auto Auction in Ohio, where Bailey is president.


White is only the second auctioneer in history to attain the bid caller's Triple Crown - winning the 2013 International Auctioneer Championship, the 2016 World Livestock Auctioneer Championship, and the 2017 World Automobile Auctioneer Championship.

Mast gained recognition as the winner of the prestigious International Auctioneer Championship in 2011, which then led to his appearance in a humorous GEICO Insurance television commercial.
