The American Society of Appraisers (ASA), the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) and The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) announced a joint conference and course offering on the recently released sixth edition of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions, commonly known as the "yellow book,” in Denver, Colo., June 20-23, 2017.
The Yellow Book Summit will kick off with a one-day conference on Tuesday, June 20 where participants interested in working for the federal government or who are looking to learn more about the recent updates to the Yellow Book will have an opportunity to network with chief appraisers from several federal agencies. The conference will feature panels that cover:
- major changes and features of the new Yellow Book;
- chief appraisers from the Interagency Land Acquisition Conference member agencies detailing their programs and types of appraisal assignments;
- how to become a contract appraiser for the federal government;
- the federal agency appraisal review process; common errors and weaknesses.
The Yellow Book Summit will continue with a comprehensive 23-hour Yellow Book course taught by course author Art Clapp, ARA along with Yellow Book appraisal expert and educator, Chris Greenwalt, ARA, RPRA. Participants in the course, developed by the Foundation and co-offered by ASFMRA and ASA, will be able to update their skills and prepare themselves for Yellow Book assignments.
