Ferris Attends LDAC
On May 20-22, the 2026 LDAC (Leadership Development Advisory Council) Conference convened emerging and established Appraisal Institute leaders for discussions on the profession’s future—leadership, innovation, and the evolving role of appraisers. We are proud to have sent Jason Ferris, MAI, SRA, to LDAC for his first year!
“As a 1st year, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I met some incredible appraisers from across the country and can see the importance of a conference like this.”
