Spirited Achiever of Valuation Vision, the Yeomans (SAVVY) Award for Excellence

The Spirited Achiever of Valuation Vision, the Yeomans (SAVVY) Award for Excellence honors the significant contributions of a woman in the valuation profession, reflecting Edie Yeomans’ tireless quest for excellence. Edith (Edie) Yeomans was an Appraisal Foundation Trustee and a prominent fine art appraiser. Her long and illustrious career was distinguished by a commitment to international volunteer service, including serving as Chair of the Foundation’s Personal Property Resource Panel. This award embodies the spirit of Edie’s passion and dedication to serving the valuation profession though guidance and support for men and women across all appraisal disciplines. Edie’s vision was to establish the Women’s Forum to promote and support the unique needs of women in the valuation profession. 

The 2023 SAVVY Award was awarded to Edie Yeomans (posthumously) and Stacy Caprioli to acknowledge their hard work and contributions in the appraisal profession.
