The American Society of Appraisers (ASA) is an American nonprofit organization which serves as a professional affiliation of appraisers. The organization is a multi-discipline, voluntary membership, trade association representing and promoting their member appraisers.[1]
History
The organization was formally formed in 1952, after consolidation of two prior appraisal organizations, The American Society of Technical Appraisers (ASTA), and the Technical Valuation Society (TVS).[2]
In 2017, the Society merged with National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers (NAIFA), bringing total membership to over 5,500 members in 75 countries.[3]
The ASA is also one of the eight trade association appraisal groups that founded The Appraisal Foundation.[4]
