Do the Foundation’s boards take input from the public or regulators when developing the standards and qualifications?Updated 3 months ago

Yes, both the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) and the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) rely on public input for their congressionally authorized roles. The Boards determine what, if any, changes are needed through conversations with stakeholders inside and outside of the appraisal profession.

Any proposed changes undergo a process similar to federal rulemaking, including multiple exposure drafts and public comment periods, ensuring transparency and broad participation. Public meetings are open, and feedback is always encouraged.
