The Nominating Committee for the American Society of Appraisers’ BV Committee is beginning its selection process for this year’s elections.  There are several slots open—“so we need as many qualified candidates as possible,” says ASA BV Committee Chair, Terry Allen.  Nominees must be in good standing with the ASA (or FASA) designation and meet additional continuing education requirements.  Although not required, some history of service to the BV profession is preferred—either within the ASA or other professional societies and organizations.  To nominate candidates for the ASA BV Committee (including self-nominations), contact Allen at tallen@fvginternational.com.

The BV Committee is comprised entirely of volunteers who meet twice a year in conjunction with the ASA International Conference and the ASA BV Conference; it oversees the education, standards, and accreditation of ASA professionals.  Among its efforts this year to improve and expand educational offerings, the BV Committee co-sponsored the sold-out Fair Value Summit with BVResources in New York City (the second annual summit will have more room).  Later this year, the co-sponsors will hold “Divorce: A Hands-On Workshop for BV Practitioners” in Chicago, September 16-17, 2008.
