For International Women’s Day, The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) celebrated the women who are advancing the appraisal profession by serving the organization in various ways. Women serve on various boards, educate and train incoming appraisers, and mentor the next generation. For example, women occupy 33% of the 21 seats on the TAF Board of Trustees. On the six-member Appraisal Standards Board, 66% are women. When compared to the overall number of women in the appraisal profession, which the Appraisal Subcommittee National Registry finds is 26%, both the TAF’s boards easily surpass this percentage. TAF sets performance and ethical standards for appraisers in all disciplines.

Extra: The nomination process for The Appraisal Foundation’s Board of Trustees is open. Elected members may include individuals from all appraisal disciplines, users of appraisal services, former appraiser regulators, academics, and business leaders. Completed applications for board vacancies must be received by March 25, 2019.
