The Coalition of Arizona Appraisers (CoAA) has voted to affiliate with the American Guild of Appraisers (AGA), a guild of the Office and Professional Employees (OPEIU). CoAA President Ann Susko says:

The government and financial industry groups have been attempting to dictate the appraisers’ collective future. This affiliation provides us with better access to the ‘decision makers’ and more clout to fight damaging consequences to appraisers.

AGA President Peter Vidi says that joining forces with local organizations such as the Coalition of Arizona Appraisers is:

rapidly increasing the strength of our collective voice for the real estate appraiser while also improving the outlook for these professionals in the home jurisdictions.
