Earlier this month, The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) began soliciting candidates to serve on its board of trustees as well as its appraisal practices board, whose members have traditionally come from non-BV disciplines. To round out its representation, “The Appraisal Foundation is interested in expanding the diversity of its Boards by considering applications from business leaders with an interest in valuation or involved in various appraisal disciplines,” reads the current announcement.

Completed applications must be received no later than April 2, 2012. The individuals selected for the board of trustees will serve three-year terms beginning Jan. 1, 2013, and those selected for the appraisal practices board will serve three-year terms beginning July 1, 2012. Application packages are available at the TAF website, here for the at-large trustees and here for the appraisal practices board.
