NAA Women’s Forum 2023

Ambassador Hotel Kansas City 1111 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, MO, United States

Back after a too-long break, the Women’s Forum is going to be the place to be in November! Join fellow female NAA members November 5–7, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri. From the opening speed-networking reception to conversations taking place everywhere, the opportunities to network will be many. Meet new people, connect with good friends, and share your story of being a woman in the auction industry. But wait! It's not just networking! Forum sessions have been created with you in mind. Discover a new way to take care of yourself or maybe just learn a different way to do something you already have in place. Hear about communication tactics, verbal and visual, that can put success into the palm of your hand. Hear from fellow women warriors who have had to learn how to advocate for themselves during rough times as they share their stories and wisdom. And not to be forgotten, the journey through life is full of transitions. They can't be avoided, but the path can be smoother when we learn that others have words of wisdom, we just have to listen! Join Maria Milagros during Monday’s keynote address and workshop on Work/Life Balance. Be ready to be […]

Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice

Virtual

USPAP 15 hr - $525 / USPAP 7 hr update - $365       Registration includes class materials The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) is the generally recognized ethical and performance standards for the appraisal profession in the United States. USPAP is updated every two years so that appraisers have the information they need to deliver unbiased and thoughtful opinions of value. To become a personal property appraiser in the United States, appraisers must take the 15-Hour National USPAP Course (or its equivalent). This is also a requirement to earn your GPPA designation. After taking the 15-Hour National USPAP Course, personal property appraisers must take the 7-Hour National USPAP Update Course (or its equivalent) once every two calendar years. This is also a requirement to maintain your GPPA or MPPA designation. The Appraisal Foundation has granted NAA a non-exclusive license to offer the USPAP courses to the NAA community. Click here to learn more about USPAP and The Appraisal Foundation.

Certified Auctioneers Institute

Indiana University 107 S. Indiana Avenue, Bloomington, IN, United States

CAI is different from NAA’s other designations. It’s a three-year program in which attendees spend a week each year onsite at Indiana University. It’s an intensive program involving late nights working on proposals and other projects that happen in the time between classes. CAI, unlike other designations, focuses on the business of the auction industry rather than on a particular asset class. While attendees learn about different types of auctions, the focus is on business planning, development and structure. Attendees register for CAI I, CAI II, and CAI III in successive years. Gaps between CAI I, II and III of more than two years require approval of the Education Director, and often are addressed by having attendees audit CAI classes for a year before returning to the program.
