Long Island Chapter History

The predecessor to the Long Island Chapter of the Appraisal Institute was granted its original charter in 1970. This recognized the growing number of real estate appraisal professionals in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk who sought membership in a world leading organization of professional real estate appraisers. The Long Island Chapter regularly conducts educational courses which meet state licensing and membership qualification and continuing education requirements, and offers seminars on the most current topics. Meetings and seminars are held throughout the year, which are open to anyone interested in real estate appraisal.
