🎙️ Live from Chicago! The Appraisal Institute’s Face Value podcast breaks new ground with its first-ever in-person recording, captured at AI Headquarters during Board Meetings. Hosts Tonia Vailas, MAI, AI-GRS, and Warren Boizot, SRA, AI-RRS (joining remotely from Denver), welcome special guests Carrie Vann, AI’s Membership Director, and Eric Goodman, Librarian of the Lum Library.

In this milestone episode, Carrie Vann shares exciting updates on AI’s newly streamlined membership structure, highlighting how recent changes promote inclusivity and reflect the Institute’s evolving strategic vision. She dives into what it means for all participants—designated, associate, and affiliate—to now be recognized simply as “members.”

Eric Goodman offers a fascinating look into the Lum Library, a resource with over 90 years of appraisal knowledge. He walks listeners through its online search capabilities and encourages members to reach out for personalized research support.
