Neither the FTC nor the CFPB have any authority over a state appraisal board.

According to some sources, the state of North Carolina is composed of three geographic regions - the Mountains, the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain. Other sources include a fourth geographic region - the Sandhills. Other sources divide North Carolina in to 4 - the Mountains, the Piedmont, Inner Coastal Plain and the Tidewater regions, Still other sources divide North Carolina in to as many as 8 different geographic regions. Unless the state law officially defines the geographic regions of North Carolina, it is certainly reasonable for the governor to believe that NC has either 3 or 4 geographic regions which means that either 1 or 2 of his 5 appointments to the board would of necessity be from the same geographic region. Thus, your statements that the law is clear and that the appointee is unethical for accepting the appointment or that he somehow stole a seat that does not belong to him are quite a reach.The Governor makes only FIVE of the 9 appointments.. Only those FIVE have to be from geographically diverse areas of the state. Anyone seeking a seat and filling out an application has to know what type of seat they are seeking and what the requirements are for the seat. State Appraisal law (93e) and NCAB "board rules" each have a link on the opening page of the NCAB website.
Actually, the FTC only has jurisdiction over interstate trade.The governor don't either. That's funny. The FTC has authority over all trade.

In any case, what does the regulation of interstate trade have to do with the licensing of appraisers by state board? You cannot cite one single case of an enforcement action or even an attempted enforcement action of the FTC against a state appraisal board because there are not any such cases.
The ASC has nothing to with board appointments but does require all appraisers performing FRT appraisals andappraisers on the ASC roster to meet the CE requirements.
Wilmington has a population of 112,000 and the State NC heading toward 10,000 million. Two in one city is way out of kilter.
Those reports are public record and can be found on the ASC website and yes ....some are quite inteI talked with somebody on a neighboring state board and they said it would surprise you what all the ASC audits when they come. They audit a bunch of stuff.
That sounds like a legitimate concern that you could pose to the ASC in a kind manner. Or pose it to other authorities.........
