Appraisal Institute

As an AI member, you have a direct voice with the lawmakers and regulators shaping the future of the valuation profession.

The Appraisal Institute’s Washington Office, the only government affairs office in the nation’s capital dedicated solely to real property valuation professionals, works year-round to make sure that voice is heard.

Members saw that firsthand earlier this year at the Leadership Development and Advisory Council (LDAC) and Legislative Day meetings in Washington, D.C., where AI representatives met directly with Congress and had their voice heard by the nation’s lawmakers.
