Thomas (Toby) J. Hirchak, III and Tyler B. Hirchak, vice presidents of Thomas Hirchak Company, recently completed their second year of courses at the prestigious Certified Auctioneers Institute (CAI) located at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind. The CAI program is the industry’s premier training program developed by the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) for auction professionals.
A three-year program, the CAI designation is the industry’s most respected professional designation an auctioneer can acquire. CAI is an intensive, executive development program offering professional auctioneers with instruction and coursework in business management, ethics, communication, finance, strategic planning, and marketing. Conducted every year in March at the University of Indiana, CAI candidates join auctioneers from across the world to be to be taught by the nation’s most distinguished and respected leaders in the auction industry. Only 3-4 percent of Auctioneers nationwide have achieved CAI status.
The Thomas Hirchak Company, with offices in both Morrisville and Williston, has been successfully marketing real and personal property through auctions and liquidation sales in the northeastern United States since 1979. Its services include complete market research, direct mailings, extensive advertising, pre- and post-auction marketing services, appraisal services, and consulting.
Toby and Tyler both reside in Morrisville with their families. They have been active in the family business for more than 30 years.
