The Appraisal Foundation, a Congressionally authorized non-profit organization dedicated to promoting professionalism in appraising through the establishment of appraisal standards and appraiser qualifications, announced February 17th that applications are now available for qualified candidates to serve on the Appraisal Practices Board (APB).

Late last year, the Foundation Board of Trustees unanimously voted to establish this new Board.  The APB will be charged with studying the issue of how to best address a void in the marketplace related to guidance on appraisal methods and techniques that would be available to all appraisers practicing in the United States.   This guidance will eventually cover all valuation disciplines, with a focus on emerging issues.
