The Appraisal Foundation announced today that it is seeking qualified candidates to fill three public interest positions on its Board of Trustees. All terms begin on January 1, 2027 and are four years.
“The opening of applications for our Board of Trustees is always a thrilling season,” said Foundation President Kelly Davids. “We are so pleased with the high number and quality of applicants we have received over the years. And with our ongoing work to transform the appraisal profession, our boards need a constant supply of talent, and the competition to give back to the appraisal profession by serving on the Board of Trustees continues to be steep. I applaud all of the applicants for being willing to help the Foundation take bold, transformational steps.”
Applications for the Board of Trustees are open to any qualified member of the public with an interest in valuation. The Board of Trustees always seeks to balance representation across all stakeholder groups and encourages all with an interest in serving the appraisal profession to apply. The Trustee Nominating Committee has specifically highlighted a need for representation from the following groups, although this list should not preclude any qualified candidates from other stakeholder groups from applying:
- Agricultural Real Property
- Mass Appraisal
- Eminent Domain
- International Valuer
- Consumer Advocate
- Veterans
- Banking/Lending/Finance
- Academics
The Board of Trustees provides financial support and oversight to the Foundation’s two independent boards, the Appraiser Qualifications Board and the Appraisal Standards Board. The Board meets twice a year, and, while Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses, they are not compensated for their time.
The Board of Trustees includes individuals from all appraisal disciplines, users of appraisal services, former appraiser regulators, academics, business leaders and community advocates.
Completed applications for Board vacancies must be received by February 27, 2026. Please contact Board and Councils Program Manager Arika James at 202.624.3072 or via email at [email protected] with any questions about the application process.
