On the latest Buzz letter, there is a Mention of the AI and I quote; "Don Kelly oversees the Washington, D.C. operations for the Appraisal Institute and has been seen by many as the Voice of the Appraisal Profession for nearly 22 years."
So with the words of "voice of the Appraisal Profession", this makes me wonder after so many threads both in defense and against of the AI. What keeps coming to mind is in some past post are, "they only represent the members of the AI", or "why should we complain since we do not get involved." Or "that we should have gone along with their past ideas and now paying for it, and doesn't matter anymore". (Paraphrasing)
So, who other can we definitely say that they truly represents us? I know that their are some very good local state organizations or other local AI's that many are happy with. Why doesn't the AI come to this Forum and at least communicate with US? They hear us and I am sure they frequent here. I think this Forum has more true representation, maybe not the Money, but they know we can make and impact.
