The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) recently selected Jay E. Fishman and Elliott B. Adler as the recipients of the Chairman’s Public Service Award, presented by the board of trustees’ immediate past chair, Steven G. Elliott. The award was established in 2005 to recognize individuals who have worked with the foundation for the benefit of the appraisal profession and who, in the process, have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Fishman is an expert in business valuation and a former member of the board of trustees, a past member of the Appraisal Standards Board, and currently vice chair of TAF’s Appraisal Practices Board. He is also on the editorial advisory board of BVR’s Business Valuation Update. Adler is principal of Elliott Adler LLC Law Offices and has served as outside general counsel to TAF since its inception.

BVWire offers its congratulations to these two very distinguished individuals.
