Appraisal Institute

The Appraisal Institute is a global membership association of professional real estate appraisers, with nearly 24,000 members and 91 chapters throughout the world. Organized in 1932, its mission is to support and advance its members as the choice for real estate solutions and uphold professional credentials, standards of professional practice and ethics consistent with the public good. The Appraisal Institute advocates equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in the appraisal profession and conducts its activities in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. Members of the Appraisal Institute benefit from an array of professional education and advocacy programs, and may hold the prestigious MAI, SRPA and SRA designations.
 

Chapters are vital to the success of the Appraisal Institute and its members. Most members and potential members have greater interaction with local chapters than any other part of the Appraisal Institute. Through this local contact, chapters are best able to meet many of the members' needs such as networking, education, representation, and providing information about the appraisal profession and the Appraisal Institute.
