The Sacramento Sierra Chapter Welcomes You!
It’s Official – We’ve Merged! Effective January 1, 2022 the Northern California Chapter and the Sacramento Sierra Chapters merged to form the Northern California Chapter.
“The merger means Sac Sierra joins one of the largest and influential chapters in the country. I’m excited to continue working with Steve Salmon, 2022 Chapter President, and I know our members will benefit from his leadership, as well as the organization and offerings of the Norcal chapter as a whole.”
– Jarrod Hodgson, MAI
2022 Northern California Chapter Vice President
Our Chapter is comprised of appraisal professionals you know and trust. Education is the core service we provide. In May 2020 we quickly pivoted and adapted our education to virtual classrooms to meet Stay in Place (SIP) requirements and COVID safety measures.
We look forward to and will continue to provide the “live” high-quality education that the appraisal community has depended upon for nearly 100 years once these regulations are lifted and it is safe for everyone to gather in person again.
