The North Carolina Chapter of the Appraisal Institute is part of a global association and was chartered in 1957 under the predecessor organization, American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. Today, the NC Chapter has over 650 Designated Members, Candidates, Practicing Affiliates, and Affiliates across the state including over 300 of whom have achieved the MAI and/or SRA designations through the Appraisal Institute (www.AppraisalInstitute.org). Every year, our Chapter hosts over a dozen educational offerings to real estate practitioners. We meet four times a year in key cities across the state. Our mission statement is "The mission of the chapter is to advance professionalism and ethics, global standards, methodologies, and practices through the professional development of property economics worldwide."
The Chapter is the largest in Region V and strives to provide superior AI benefits at the local level. We are headquartered in the Piedmont Triad area of the state. 
I am honored to serve as the 2013 President of the NC Chapter of the Appraisal Institute. Thank you for giving me the opportunity and I hope to make this a great year.
In February, I completed the Advisor Training Webinar that allows me to serve the chapter in another capacity as well. This being the inaugural year of the C4D (Candidate for Designation) program brings new changes to our organization. I have received my assignment of Candidates and am looking forward to working with them throughout the designation path. If you would like to serve as an advisor in the program, please log in to www.appraisalinstitute.org and sign up. The Webinar is painless and your experience will greatly benefit our Candidates to become MAI and SRA members. For practicing affiliates that are eligible and have not elected to do so, please consider becoming a Candidate for Designation. The education and fellowship you will receive are well worth the effort.
Our Government Relations Committee has been busy this year. To keep you updated on timely issues, we are adding a special section to the Chapter website. Look for it in the near future. We are also planning a Facebook page to keep you updated on this and other items of interest as well.
On April 18th, we held our Fourth Annual Real Estate Valuation Conference (REVC) in Charlotte, North Carolina in conjunction with our quarterly spring meeting. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation which included ten speakers on various topics on the National, Regional, and Local Economy and Real Estate Markets. The two, 4 hour seminars were well attended and I hope those in attendance found it beneficial. This is an annual event that will be held in the Triangle area in 2014. If you have never attended, please look for the offering early next year as this is a timely seminar that has tools you can use.
Our next quarterly meeting will be held in Wrightsville Beach on July 31 – August 1, 2013. Please plan to attend and bring your families for a fun filled beach trip.
We have several educational offerings planned for the year. Please visit www.ncappraisalinstitute.org for more of the latest information and schedules.
Thank you for your continued support of the Appraisal Institute and the North Carolina Chapter. If I can be of assistance to any of our members, candidates, practicing affiliates, and affiliates, please let me know.
Have a great 2013!
Laura K Mallory, MAI
