USPAP class for the thirteenth time

[Dublin ohio]

i passed all their tests over and over...even the ones about melting snowflakes

All that proves is that passing a test does not equal understanding or wanting to understand the material.

600 faqs and 300 ao's later it is clear as mud...at 33 degrees snow flakes start to melt

Good grief....
Appraising is so basic and elementary....
That even humans can do them....

The people in charge of enforcing this trash don't understand the material .That's been proven over and over on the forum throughout the years.

Greetings! I am so invigorated coming out of last week’s Board of Trustees meeting. This month, I wanted to use this space to reflect and share my deep appreciation for everyone who has contributed to our work this year. From our boards to our partners, stakeholders, regulators, councils, and panels, none of this work would be possible without their tireless contributions to prioritize the public trust. Here are a few quick takeaways I had from this year’s Fall Board of Trustees meeting. Also be sure to check out some of the photos from Friday below! Inspiration: There were so many people and events at this meeting that inspired me. Our SAVVY Award winner Rachel Beam has an incredible story about welcoming the next generation of appraisers and promoting diversity in our profession, and I was so invigorated to hear from the first PAREA graduates as they shared their stories. From our board trainings on Thursday to the general session on Saturday there was inspiration around every corner. Attendance: We set some attendance records with this meeting! With over 70 people in person and over 200 joining us via livestream, this Board of Trustees meeting reached more people than ever before. I’m thrilled that so many people can play an active role in the work that we are doing to build public trust. Critical Analysis: One of the things we’ve been intentional about with our Board of Trustees meetings this year is creating more opportunities for engagement and discussion. Dr. Brent Ambrose’s presentation on his research into appraisal bias was a wonderful opportunity for our audience, both in person and virtual, to start a conversation. We will continue to identify exciting speakers and panels like this one to ensure our meetings are relevant to our audiences. All of these were incredible moments but there’s one that I want to spend a bit more time reflecting on with you. One of the most moving moments of the meeting for me was the grace and leadership displayed by this year’s AQB and ASB Chairs: Brad Swinney and Michelle Czekalski Bradley. These two incredible leaders have steered our standards and qualifications boards through incredibly trying times. I don’t think they fully understood the depth of the workload they were in for when they took the helm of our independent boards. But they both stepped up in ways that I have rarely seen leaders do. Michelle spearheaded the rewriting of the Ethics Rule with an energy and deep knowledge of USPAP that ensured the final product would be a critical asset for appraisers and consumers alike. The entire profession owes her a debt of gratitude for this revolutionary work. Brad’s calm leadership was critical as the AQB came under close scrutiny by federal regulators. He ensured that the Board could be responsive to federal regulators while also being laser focused on their goal to conduct a comprehensive review of the Criteria. We haven’t even begun to see the full fruits of this labor yet, but I know that it will be a game changer for the profession. Both of these incredible leaders cemented their legacies at the Foundation this past week, when, for the good of their boards and the profession, they agreed to welcome the next generation of leadership to their respective boards during their final year of tenure. Their generosity of spirit and continued commitment to the profession over their personal careers is an example for us all. The Foundation and the profession will be in their debt for a long time to come, and to Brad and Michelle, I extend my most heartfelt thanks. This past week has been an incredible reminder of why we aim for the big, bold and impactful projects that will shape this profession for the next generation. I am so energized as we head into the end of the year and begin planning to make 2025 just as much of a change maker as 2024 has been. Thank you all for your continued commitment to this critical work. Kelly Davids President

USPAP Definitions of ‘His’ and ‘Her’​

by Jonathan Miller · Published November 4, 2021 · Updated November 19, 2021

The USPAP Exposure Draft Process Continues To Step Outside Their Purpose With Her/Him as the new ‘Misleading’ Debacle →

The general idea of definitions added to USPAP was supposed to be industry-specific nomenclature. Because ASB doesn’t have policy writers nor does legal counsel review their work, we get a lot of garbage embedded into the document. And then it often gets removed because it was never correct, to begin with. This garbage in/out process is by design. There is no incentive for the technical boards (AQB, ASB) to get it right. This way USPAP can continue to be arbitrarily updated every two years so that TAF can be “financially independent” by charging appraisers for USPAP when it could be free.

And now we get another exposure draft with another one close behind.

And now USPAP is wading into definitions of ‘His’ and ‘Her’ which begs the question, what does this have to do with USPAP?

Appendix 7: DEFINITIONS TO ADD​

Definitions of His or Her

HIS OR HER: Traditional gender-related pronouns, such as “he”, “his”, “him”, “himself”, or “she”, “her” or “herself”, are to be construed as gender neutral and include persons who identify themselves as non-binary, e.g., agender, bigender.

Good grief.

Again, this silly exposure draft process is being maintained to keep the cash flowing into TAF from the hard-working appraisers they are supposed to represent. It’s all about money and avoiding accountability.

Remember the shills trying to cover up for her? This is another "conspiracy" that came true. The Operation Mockingbird tactic is falling apart.

Appraising the situation, Michelle Bradley went to great lengths to deal with pandemic​

Bradley, 54, created her own custom covid prevention outfit to wear while appraising properties.

“I scoured the internet every night for gloves, booties, rain ponchos and anything that would work as a barrier,” said Bradley, who works for the family-owned Czekalski Real Estate in Harrison.

She said her unusual outfit drew curious looks from the public while out and about, but Bradley was undeterred.

“People would look at me strangely on the street, but I didn’t care,” she said. “My homeowners and clients were appreciative.”

Bradley disposed of each outfit after each wearing and wiped her skin with a water/bleach solution after each appraisal visit.

“I felt this was my moral duty of public trust,” Bradley said. “Not all appraisers did that, but I had such a concern for other humans.”

hey michelle...time for your monthly booster because the first 10 shots didn't work

Whenever I read or hear the word "stakeholder" it seems like some serious BS is sure to follow.
