SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF the EAANA ORGANIZATION
- The express purpose of the association is to provide a professional appraisal society representing all aspects of the machinery and equipment industries. Actual market experience is a requirement for all appraiser members. The majority of our work utilizes the market approach, as we believe it to be the truest reflection of value in our discipline.
- The Equipment Appraisers Association of North America was incorporated May 18, 1990, in Pennsylvania with 15 Charter Members all involved in the construction and mining industry. In 1995 we extended membership to all disciplines of machinery and equipment and the Association is now international with over 120 members. In 1997 we adopted the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as the standard of practice for our members, adopted a Code of Ethics, we revised our membership requirements and established designations for members. EAANA was accepted as a member of The Appraisal Foundation Advisory Council (TAFAC) in 1999.
