Writing the Checks to Associations: I Make My Choices.
Posted by Mark Linné
I wrote about “No More Blank Checks” a few weeks ago – where I questioned the value I was receiving from the appraisal organizations that I belong to. I thought it would be a simple matter to figure out which organization was providing me with the most value. I would be able to simply and completely finish the question I asked in my blog about the value of professional associations a week later.
That was before I received dozens of posts in response to my blog.
That was before I received dozens of private emails.
That was before I received numerous calls from appraisers across the country.
