The North Carolina Chapter of the Appraisal Institute is part of a global membership organization and was chartered in 1957 under the predecessor organization, American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. Today, the NC Chapter has over 650 members across the state including over 300 of whom have achieved the MAI and/or SRA designations through the Appraisal Institute (www.AppraisalInstitute.org). Every year, our Chapter hosts over a dozen educational offerings to our members and real estate practitioners. We meet four times a year in key cities across the state. Our mission statement is "The mission of the chapter is to support and advance the member in a relationship with the market for valuation services. The chapter exists solely for the benefit of the member." The Chapter is the largest in Region V and strives to provide superior member benefits at the local level. We are headquartered in the Piedmont Triad area of the state. >>
