At Appraisal and Umpire Association, The spirit under which our Association was formed is a simple one. Insurance is a vital part of our economy and our personal lives. It is a public good and therefore demands a level of competence and ethical standards. We are that standard in Appraisal and Umpire services. We self govern our membership and hold each of our certified Appraisers and Umpires to the highest standard. If we find evidence of misconduct or lack of candor in answering to complaints filed with our organization. The certification will be revoked and the member decertified by this Association.
