Read the first 7 Industry Regulations flashcards as text

  1. A CSP collects health-related data from workshop participants through pre-event surveys. Which US regulatory framework is most likely to govern this data?

    Answer: HIPAA if the speaker qualifies as a covered entity or business associate

    HIPAA governs protected health information collected by covered entities and their business associates, which may apply if the speaker's workshop is affiliated with a healthcare organization.

  2. A professional speaker's bureau contract includes a 'most favored nation' clause. What does this require?

    Answer: The speaker must offer the bureau the lowest fee they charge any other bureau

    A most favored nation clause ensures the bureau receives pricing no less favorable than what the speaker offers to any other bureau, preventing fee undercutting.

  3. What obligation does the NSA Code of Professional Ethics place on CSPs regarding continuing education?

    Answer: CSPs are expected to commit to ongoing professional development to maintain and grow their expertise

    The NSA Code encourages ongoing professional development as an ethical responsibility, though specific hour requirements are tied to designation renewal cycles rather than rigid annual mandates.

  4. When a CSP provides a reference or letter of recommendation for another speaker, what ethical standard applies?

    Answer: Recommendations must be honest and only provided when the CSP can genuinely endorse the speaker's abilities

    NSA ethics require honesty in all professional communications, including references, meaning a CSP should only recommend speakers they can genuinely and truthfully endorse.

  5. A speaking client in the EU wants a US-based CSP to collect registration data from European attendees. Which regulation does the CSP need to consider?

    Answer: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

    GDPR applies to the collection and processing of personal data from EU residents regardless of where the organization collecting it is based, imposing data protection obligations on US speakers.

  6. What is the significance of an 'indemnification clause' in a speaking contract from the speaker's perspective?

    Answer: It defines which party is responsible for legal costs and damages arising from specified events or claims

    An indemnification clause allocates responsibility for legal claims and damages between the speaker and organizer, making it critical for speakers to review carefully before signing.

  7. Which practice best demonstrates a CSP's compliance with NSA ethical standards regarding testimonials on their marketing materials?

    Answer: Using only genuine, unedited testimonials with the client's knowledge and permission

    NSA ethics and FTC guidelines require that testimonials be genuine, accurate, and used with the permission of the person providing them.
