The chapter provided live, high-quality education that the appraisal community depended upon for nearly 100 years.

The Sacramento Sierra Chapter has long served as a trusted resource for appraisal professionals throughout Northern California, providing the education, advocacy, and community support that practitioners rely on to advance their careers. Over the years, the chapter offered a rich calendar of live courses covering everything from national USPAP updates to foundational and advanced appraisal procedures. These educational programs were designed to help both newly licensed appraisers and seasoned professionals maintain their credentials and stay current with evolving industry standards and best practices.

Beyond the classroom, the chapter served as a vital hub for connection and professional growth. Members found opportunities to engage with fellow appraisers, share practical knowledge, and build relationships that strengthened their practices across the region. The chapter's leadership and committees worked diligently to keep members informed through newsletters, meetings, and events, while also championing the interests of the appraisal profession through advocacy at the state and national levels. This sense of community was central to the chapter's identity and enduring value.

In a significant development, the Sacramento Sierra Chapter merged with the Northern California Chapter effective January 1, 2022, to form a single, stronger organization serving appraisers across the broader region. The courses and offerings listed on these pages reflect the historical programming of the Sacramento Sierra Chapter and stand as a testament to nearly a century of dedicated service to the appraisal community. The merger was undertaken to consolidate resources, expand educational opportunities, and continue delivering meaningful benefits to members throughout Northern California.

For appraisers seeking professional development, the chapter's historical course catalog illustrates the depth and breadth of training that has long been available to the profession. From ethics and standards to specialized valuation topics and practical appraisal techniques, the educational lineup was thoughtfully curated to support practitioners at every stage of their careers. Today, the merged Northern California Chapter continues this legacy, offering ongoing education, resources, and networking opportunities that help appraisers provide reliable, ethical real estate solutions to the public they serve.
