What was the driving force behind the creation of the Rising Stars award?
William Johnston, ASA, started this program in 2016. The idea was to create more awareness of valuation as a career and profession among young professionals. This year we are planning to take Bill’s legacy work, and make it permanent and recognized within ASA.

What does it take to be a Rising Star nominee?
A Rising Star is exactly that, a rising star within ASA and in the valuation profession. Someone who is gaining momentum in their career, is respected by her peers, and is contributing towards growing the eminence of our profession and supporting ASA through their volunteer leadership. We are here to provide this person with a platform to be recognized, grow their network, and continue to help us collectively grow the profession and our Society.
