Change to Requirements for Supervising a Single Candidate Member

At a Special Meeting of the CNAREA Membership, a proposed change to the Definition of a Supervisor (for a Single Candidate Member) was approved by the Membership.

The newly accepted definition is:

Article 6 – (2. A) “Supervisor” of a single Candidate Member means an appraiser member in good standing who holds the professional designations of the association, DAR or DAC and has a minimum of two (2) years’ experience as a designated appraiser.

This new definition of a qualified Supervisor of a single Candidate Member includes the requirement for the Supervisor to be a Designated Appraiser for at least 2 years, be a Member in Good Standing, which includes being current on their education requirements, and successfully complete an on-line course (approx. 4 hrs) prior to supervising a single Candidate Member.  (This course will be available to members by Mid-August 2021)

A Designated Member wishing to begin supervising a Candidate Member must request permission from CNAREA, submit 3 recently completed Appraisal Reports to be reviewed, and register for the required course prior to being approved to supervise a single Candidate Member.

The normal requirements of a supervising appraiser remain unchanged, including geographical competence in the market the Candidate Member is operating in.
