The Appraisal Institute has announced its “Volunteer of Distinction” honoree for March: Armando del Valle, SRA, of Region X (South Florida Chapter).

The Appraisal Institute’s recognition program honors volunteers for their service to the Appraisal Institute, to the real estate valuation profession and to their local communities. Each month, the Appraisal Institute recognizes one honoree in each region as a Volunteer of Distinction.

Region X consists of Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Del Valle was South Florida Chapter president in 2011, vice president in 2010, secretary in 2009 and treasurer in 2008. He served as Nominating Committee chair in 2012 and remains on the committee. He joined the Appraisal Institute and received his SRA designation in 1989.

Appraisal Institute Designated members, Candidates for Designation, Practicing Affiliates and Affiliates may nominate such individuals by submitting the nomination form to their chapter’s executive director or president. Each region’s honorees then are chosen by their regional executive director, in conjunction with the region’s chair and vice chair. Check out the nomination form and additional information about the “Volunteer of Distinction” program.
