45-Day Notice of Proposed Amendments to Appraisal Institute Bylaws
At a Special Board Meeting occurring at least forty-five days after the date of this Notice or at its November 12-13, 2026, meeting in Chicago, Illinois, the Appraisal Institute Board of Directors will consider proposed amendments to the Appraisal Institute Bylaws regarding:
