The Appraisal Foundation (TAF), the nation's foremost authority on the valuation profession, has begun its annual search for qualified candidates to serve on its board of trustees.
Completed applications for the vacancies must be received by March 14. There are three at-large trustee seats available as of Dec. 31, 2014.
The board of trustees is the governing body of TAF. Trustees are charged with funding the work of, and appointing members to, the Appraisal Practices Board (APB), Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) and Appraisal Standards Board (ASB), as well as providing oversight of these three boards.
The board of trustees meets twice a year — in the spring and fall — and trustees also serve on committees that meet throughout the year via telephone. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses and are not compensated for their time. The individuals selected for positions on the board of trustees will serve three-year terms commencing Jan. 1, 2015.
Two of the seats under consideration for the board of trustees this year are earmarked for:
- A representative from academia; and
- A licensed/certified real estate appraiser not affiliated with an appraisal sponsor of TAF.
The Appraisal Foundation seeks board of trustees members with management and oversight experience from a high-profile, leadership background. Recognized business, government, non-profit and academic leaders with an interest in valuation are encouraged to apply.
