Chair's Public Service Award
The Chair’s Public Service Award was established in 2005 to recognize individuals who have worked with The Appraisal Foundation for the benefit of the appraisal profession and who in the process, have gone above and beyond the call of duty. The Foundation congratulates all past award recipients and expresses its gratitude for their leadership and dedication to the appraisal profession.
The 2024 Chair's Public Service Award recipient was Foundation Counsel Elliott Adler. Elliott has served as the Foundation's outside counsel since the organization's founding. His ongoing commitment to serving the Foundation, its mission, and the appraisal profession is an incredible illustration of what true public service entails.
