Northern California Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers
American Society of Appraisers Election Results
Results are in for 2011 American Society of Appraisers elections. Membership elected new international officers, discipline governors, and officers and members of discipline committees. Those elected will officially take office on July 1, 2011.
It’s an honor for me, as an ASA equipment appraiser and (ahem) the newly-elected Vice-president of the NorCal ASA Chapter, to be associated with this prestigious group of professionals who have consistently demonstrated their support and dedication to the mission of ASA and its members. Congratulations especially to Nancy Stacy, a valuable member of the NorCal ASA Chapter, and now discipline governor of Gems & Jewelry, and to the governor, committee officer & members of my particular area, Machinery & Technical Specialties — less formally referred to as equipment and machinery appraisal.
Equipment Appraisal USPAP with Roger Durkin, J.D., ASA
Last week, I had the privilege of attending a USPAP Reaccreditation course especially for Machine & Technical Specialty appraisers taught by Roger Durkin, J.D., M.S., ASA, just over in San Francisco. The class was sponsored by the NorCal Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers, serving appraisers all over Northern California, including such hot spots as San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Redding and San Joaquin County. The seminar was open to equipment appraisers everywhere and we had some nice folks from Arizona and Nevada there as well.
Qualified Appraisers, ASA & the IRS
I’m proud & pleased to present a guest article with this reprint of the President’s Message from the Sept 2010 newsletter of the American Society of Appraisers NorCal Chapter. Thanks, Bob, for allowing us to share your message on our blog!
At a recent Northern California ASA meeting, I sat next to a retired IRS appraisal reviewer who answered the on-going question of qualified appraisers rather succinctly.
Off the record, he said, the IRS has such respect for the American Society of Appraisers designation that very few ASA-submitted appraisals are required to be passed up the chain for higher review.
