The National Association of Appraisers (NAA) has announced that John Dingeman, chief appraiser at Landmark Network, Inc., will serve as its president. Dingeman previously served as director at NAA in 2014.
“I am humbled and honored to have been asked to serve the National Association of Appraisers membership as president of the organization,” Dingeman said in the press release. “I hope to continue the NAA’s current growth trend as one of the fastest-growing and affordable organizations for residential and personal property appraisers, and assist in unifying the boots-on-the-ground appraisers who endure continued potential fracturing of our profession.
“We may not reach all of our objectives in one day, and building relationships and persuading others to see the same issue from another perspective takes time,” Dingeman added. “However, with that in mind, we can achieve most anything.”
Dingeman comes to the position with strong state-level experience, having previously served as president of the Coalition of Arizona Appraisers, an organization which regularly addressed issues such as AMC rules, payment terms, and the prohibition of indemnification agreements by all parties engaging appraisers, not just AMCs.
As chief appraiser at Landmark Network, Dingeman manages quality control policies and procedures and assists appraisers in meeting those standards.
“We are extremely enthused to have someone with such extensive appraisal experience in a position of leadership in both organizations. He can enable our appraisers in their daily tasks and simultaneously be able to marry compliance requirements with individual client requests and requirements,” Landmark Network CEO Erik Richard said. “He has the unique capacity to maintain the appraiser’s perspective and the AMC’s perspective at the same time, and we look forward to his ability to advocate that balance for NAA as well.”
