Appraiser Qualifications Board

The Appraisal Foundation Panels

Business Valuation
Resource Panel

The purpose of the Business Valuation Resource Panel (BVRP) is to provide a permanent assembly of representatives from diverse sub-specializations within the business valuation discipline so The Appraisal Foundation's Board of Trustees has a centralized ongoing communication with representatives from the business valuers; and benefits from information, advice and recommendations developed by the Resource Panel on issues relevant to the discipline

Personal Property
Resource Panel

The institution of the Personal Property Resource Panel (PPRP) will enhance the work and overall profile of The Appraisal Foundation as a multi-disciplinary organization, as well as help to associate the Personal Property discipline with The Appraisal Foundation’s mission to maintain and enhance the public trust in the valuation profession.
