ASA Congratulates 2023 Summer Appraisal Camp Graduates

ASA completed its popular Summer Appraisal Camp this past August 1-24. The accelerated, intensive four-week virtual education program is designed to give participants the foundational skills needed to work toward becoming a professional appraiser of personal property. Completion of this rigorous program satisfies the educational requirements of ASA’s accreditation process.

The “Camp” program is comprised of the four ASA Personal Property Principles of Valuation courses: PP201 – Introduction to Personal Property Appraising, PP202 – Development of a Personal Property Appraisal: Research and Analysis, PP203 – Communication of a Personal Property Appraisal: Report Writing, and PP204 – Personal Property Valuation: The Legal and Commercial Environments. Students also have the option to register and attend classes individually.

Instruction was provided by five distinguished ASA course instructors who are also experienced, professional appraisers of personal property: Sandra J. Tropper, FASA, Jacob Fish, ASA, Frances Zeman, FASA, Analee McClellan, ASA, and Danielle Rahm, ASA.

11 students registered and completed the four-course “Camp” program, with an additional 15 students registering and completing individual classes.
