Recently Brian Melsheimer and I spent time discussing the benefits of joining an appraiser organization with Dustin Harris, the Appraiser Coach.

I enjoyed the discussion. Thanks to Brian for the introduction and to Dustin for his insightful questions.

Much of what we discussed is covered in the article I wrote for Appraisal Today (link).

Are you a member of your local appraiser association? Or a national group? If so, what are the benefits? If not, what are your reasons for not joining a group?
