Don Boucher, SRA made a strong case for the AI Political Action Committee. The AI PAC supports candidates who are committed to the principles that drive the appraisal profession. By providing this support, AI PAC helps develop strong congressional advocates for the appraisal profession and helps ensure that those advocates can continue working to promote the interests of appraisers for many years to come.

The event also served as an opportunity to introduce three new designated members. William E. Culbertson joined the ranks of SRAs, Carolyn Kakareka, MAI added MAI to her credentials and Dave Lenhoff became the chapter’s first AI-GRS. Lenhoff encouraged members to pursue a review designation noting that the AI-GRS and AI-RRS had recently been created in response to the growing and critically important role that appraisal review plays in risk management and mitigation for many clients/users of appraisal services.
