Registration Opens for LDAC; Sponsorship Opportunities Available

January 31, 2020 by Appraisal Institute Staff

Are you interested in sharing new ideas for the valuation profession and helping advocate for appraisers on Capitol Hill? Learn more about that exciting opportunity and other important Appraisal Institute information from the past month!

Registration Opens for LDAC; Sponsorship Opportunities Available

Mark your calendars! The Appraisal Institute will open online registration at 11 a.m. CST Feb. 11 for its 2020 Leadership Development and Advisory Council conference, which will take place May 18-20 at the Hilton Washington DC National Mall.

LDAC is an innovative approach to valuation leadership development and serves as an incubator of new ideas, while helping to establish an appraiser presence in Congress with a day of lobbying on Capitol Hill. Registered attendees who participate in the complete LDAC program will receive AI CE.

The Appraisal Institute also is offering sponsorship opportunities for LDAC. All money raised will be used to sponsor one of the numerous activities at the 2020 conference. A complete sponsor list will be published at the event and online.

Appraisal Institute Updates Key Education Offering

Registration is now open for “7-Hour National USPAP Update Course.” I encourage you to check out this current offering!

This classroom offering, copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, focuses on recent changes to USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance by appraisers. The course, which clarifies several commonly misunderstood aspects of USPAP, will aid participants in all areas of appraisal practice seeking updated competency in USPAP, including those subject to state licensing or certification and continuing education requirements imposed by professional organizations, client groups, or employers.

On a related topic, registration also is open for “7-Hour Equivalent USPAP Update Course.” This online course also focuses on recent changes to USPAP requirements for ethical behavior and competent performance undertaken by appraisers. The course emphasizes the application of USPAP in everyday practice, which will help clarify commonly misunderstood aspects of USPAP. 

Workshop Co-Hosted by AI Attracts Potential Appraisers

I’m excited to share that the Appraisal Institute co-sponsored a workshop Jan. 14 in New Orleans for individuals interested in learning about the real estate valuation profession. Attendees heard from the Louisiana Urban League, Fannie Mae, Altisource and representatives of AI’s Louisiana Chapter.

The workshop was part of Fannie Mae’s Appraiser Diversity Pipeline Initiative, for which the Appraisal Institute is serving as a co-lead. The initiative is intended to attract new entrants to the residential appraisal field, overcome barriers to entry (such as education, training and experience requirements) and to foster diversity.

Learn more about the Appraisal Institute’s work with Fannie Mae on the Appraiser Diversity Pipeline Initiative.
