Extra! Extra!
Check out the latest Chapter Newsletter: 2nd Quarter 2025!
This important course provides information about standards and ethics requirements for valuers in general and, more specifically, for valuers who belong to the Appraisal Institute. Through discussion questions and examples, you’ll identify behavior and actions that illustrate violations of the Code of Professional Ethics, and you’ll learn how referrals can be made. You’ll get an introduction to the Appraisal Institute Guide Notes to the Standards of Professional Practice and see how the Guide Notes can be used to resolve everyday appraisal practice problems. Finally, you’ll learn about common errors in appraisal reports and review reports, and they respond to questions about challenges that arise in appraisal practice such as requests for updates and requests to change or add intended users.
Come out for a fun evening playing darts and networking. Show your dart throwing skills (or lack of) at the 2nd Annual Dart tournament. There will be free food! Invite your colleagues and clients. All are welcome. This is a great chance for networking.
This event is also the second quarter chapter membership meeting. Before the real fun begins, we will hold the elections for the 2026 officers, directors and region representatives will be held. If you have not submitted your name and want to get involved in the chapter, reach out to any of the board members or Lauren. Your help is needed to keep improving our association.
