What does the Provincial Association do and what does the National office do?

In 2002, the Appraisal Institute of Canada completed another significant re-structuring exercise. They have also researched and now adopted a report that outlines the national and provincial roles and responsibilities.

Provincial Responsibilities:
• Public inquiries as to how to become a member of the Institute
• Members Recruitment
• Applications for Candidacy
• Applied Experience Program Applications
• Designation Examination(s)
• Member Reinstatement
• Member Retirement
• Member Resignations
• Continuing Professional Development program inquiries
• Professional Development Seminars; Standards Seminar (2 day)
• Media Contacts (local/provincial reporters)
• Promotion of the profession (provincial presentations, advertising, etc)

National Responsibilities:
• Membership fee services (dues, receipts)
• Professional Liability Insurance Program (outsourced)
• Professional standards including advise on interpreting the Standards
• Professional practice (inquiries, complaints)
• Distance learning Standards Seminar
• National communications and media relations issues
• National Conferences

Please contact your provincial association if you need clarification about whether the issue you are concerned about is a national or provincial responsibility.
