The Appraisal Foundation is seeking qualified candidates to fill three to four public interest positions on its board of trustees.

All three terms begin on Jan. 1, 2026, with one term running for three years and the others spanning four years. One term is a three-year term, and the remaining terms are four years. Applications are open to any qualified member of the public with an interest in valuation, although the Trustee Nominating Committee highlighted a need for representation from groups including academics, agricultural real property, banking, civil rights advocates, commercial real property, consumer advocates, eminent domain experts, international valuers, mass appraisal, personal property and real estate brokers and agents.

The board meets twice a year and trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses only. Completed applications the board vacancies must be received by March 1.

“There has never been a more important time to get involved in the Foundation’s work as we seek to make 2025 a year of impact and change,” said Foundation President Kelly Davids. “We are so pleased with the high number and quality of applicants we have received over the years. Our boards need a constant supply of talent, and the competition to give back to the appraisal profession by serving on the Board of Trustees continues to be steep. I applaud all of the applicants for being willing to help the Foundation take bold, transformational steps.”
