The 2022 AI Leadership and Development Conference (LDAC) was held May 18-20 this year and NCAI had three that attended: Mike Elwell, Greyson Morgan, and Peter Hitchens. Greyson and Peter were first years and had the benefit of Mike Elwell who attended before the pandemic.

LDACstarted with a presentation from Melody Taylor regarding the recently published Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity Task Force (PAVE) Report. While AI suggests the data should be reviewed more, the overall report helps to educate stakeholders about the appraisal process.

 Earlier this month, members met up for a breakfast meeting with NCDOT Area 5 Appraiser Randy Guess who spoke with attendees about eminent domain appraising and working for the NCDOT as a fee appraiser. And last week, over 80 members and guests gathered via zoom to hear Residential Certified Appraiser, Joyce Pusey, SRA, AI-RRS, go over the basics of the ANSI requirements and rules that will be required on April 1 by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

The Appraisal Institute announced March 9 that it is accepting nominations for its J. Scott Robinson Lifetime Achievement, Outstanding Service Award and Women’s Initiative SPOTLIGHT Award, three ways that AI recognizes some of its brightest and most deserving professionals.

On December 9, 55+ members & guests celebrated at the 2021 Q4 Chapter Business Meeting and Installation Ceremony held at the Foundation for the Carolinas in Charlotte. The event also drew members and guests virtually via the live stream.

This year’s event recognized the late J. Scott Robinson, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS, MRICS by presenting a commemorative crystal to his wife, Kim, who was in attendance. The NC Chapter’s Installation Ceremony has been officially renamed to the J. Scott Robinson Installation Ceremony in Scott’s honor. Scott, who passed in January 2021, was a longtime, active member of the Appraisal Institute and the NC Chapter and served the organization in many capacities, including being the 2016 President of the Appraisal Institute and the 2005 President of the NC Chapter.

The Appraisal Institute Board of Directors at its Nov. 11-12 meeting in Chicago approved the Strategic Plan strategies that will guide the organization’s efforts in 2022, and beyond.

Over the summer, members in the Metrolina area gave back to their local community by volunteering with the Crisis Assistance Ministry to help sort clothes and donated household items for families in need. In addition, members in the Asheville area connected for happy hour at Blue Ghost Brewery! And in September, 30+ members gathered virtually and heard committee updates about the Chapter’s summer activities, learned what’s ahead, and celebrated our newly designated members, Ashley Cate Cooper, MAI, and Stephen M. Worthy, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS. Ashley earned the MAI designation and Stephen earned the SRA and AI-RRS designations. Congratulations to them both!

Save the date: Q4 Chapter Business Meeting & Installation Ceremony is on December 9 at the Foundation for the Carolinas in Charlotte, NC. More details coming soon. 

This past July, Chapter members Mike Moody, MAI, Mike Elwell, MAI, SRA, R/W-AC, John C. Palmer, MAI, CCIM, and Greyson S.
