Appraisal Articles

First, my thanks to all of you who turned in the early nominations. The NCPAC ballots are still open until the conference so you can continue to send them in, but those of you who did turn them in early, it allows us to get a bio or information posted in advance in the Scope about some of the individuals who will be running for the officer/ board positions.

Secondly, I would like to thank those of you who nominated me for various board / officer positions with NCPAC. It is a testament to the strength and success of the Scope newsletter, that a small town girl such as myself, has made an impact on other appraisers’ lives. I really do appreciate being nominated.

But, and here’s the new news, I have decided not to run.

Can you believe it?

I have a new project I am working on that requires my full attention. Some of you may remember that last year I worked all through my pregnancy, right up until the conference. Then at the conference I acted like superwoman and tried to do too much. Well, I can’t do that again.

So you might have guessed it, yep, working on number two. And I will attend this year’s conference, but I am going to try and delegate as much as I can, rather than trying to move tables and such myself. If you would like to volunteer for this next month’s conference, please contact Sandy or myself and we will be happy to let you know what you can do to participate!

So thanks again for nominating me and I will consider running again in the future, but if I learned anything from last time it is when to say enough is enough. I am not one to readily admit that I can’t do something; but I did learn a very valuable lesson, and that it is okay to do less and others will not think less of you for it.

I also hope that you sign up and attend this year’s conference. Dale Smathers has done a fantastic job of putting together a “grass roots” involvement conference. Highlights should focus on what is going on in the various areas of NC locally and regionally, to organize the appraisers of NC. Also if you come on Thursday, a 7 hour CE class will be offered. So you can have fun and get a CE credit also! Plan on signing up to attend early, and I hope to see you there!
