Master Series
In the spring of 2019, our Membership Committee initiated a new program titled the Masters Series to document the careers of our long-time members. This video series captures their early years as appraisers, thoughts on the profession and advice for those just beginning their careers. We completed the third round of filming in the spring of 2022.
We want to offer our heartfelt thanks to our members for sharing their insight, knowledge, and insider experiences with all of us.
We hope that you find these Master Series videos relevant, enjoyable, and inspiring!
