The Profession


Sponsor LDAC 2010!

What is LDAC?

•  A revolutionary approach to leadership development!
 
•  An incubator of new programming ideas!
 
•  A mouthpiece to our Nation’s lawmakers!
 
The Leadership Development & Advisory Council (LDAC) has served as a source of leadership and as an inspiration for new programming ideas for the Appraisal Institute for over 30 years. Through a series of roundtable discussions, LDAC provides a forum where ideas and opinions of targeted topics of concern in the appraisal profession are exchanged.

Capitol Hill Trip
LDAC establishes an "appraiser presence" in Congress. Organized into Congressional Teams, LDAC participants lobby Capitol Hill and demonstrate that the Appraisal Institute is made up of professionals who recognize the importance of being actively involved in the political process. Visit the Appraisal Institute Government Affairs page.


Why Attend?
Ask any LDAC alumni, and they will undeniably tell you that LDAC has been one of their most positive experiences with the Appraisal Institute! Here’s why:

•  LDAC is your spring board for future leadership within the Appraisal Institute
 
•  You get to make a difference in the Appraisal Institute by helping to formulate solutions to obstacles and challenges faced by the appraisal industry
 
•  You have an opportunity to make your voice heard by members of the Nation’s lawmakers
 
•  LDAC is your ticket to D.C. in the Spring
 
•  Leadership development component, which includes leadership training and leadership opportunities


So you want to be a member of the Leadership Development & Advisory Council…
Most LDAC participants are nominated and sponsored by their Appraisal Institute Chapter. Attendance is not limited to Appraisal Institute members, however, because a variety of professional experience is sought: fee appraisers, staff appraisers/analysts and academicians. Care is taken to maintain a balance of individuals from diverse ethnic, racial, religious, cultural, gender, and geographic backgrounds.
