The official start of Conclave is April 27, but if you plan to arrive early, we have some pre-Conclave events you won’t want to miss.
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP) Course / April 25-26, 2020
Come to Conclave early and take the Personal Property course of The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). This course will be offered April 25-26, 2020, hosted by AGS appraiser David Rotenberg, ECGA, and taught by Mona Miller, ICGA.
The USPAP is the generally recognized ethical and performance standards for the appraisal profession in the United States. USPAP was adopted by Congress in 1989, and contains standards for all types of appraisal services. Compliance is required for state-licensed and state-certified appraisers involved in federally-related real estate transactions, and now, personal property as well. USPAP is updated every two years so that appraisers have the information they need to deliver unbiased and thoughtful opinions of value.
