What a fantastic turnout for the New UAD 3.6 Deep-Dive Demonstration on May 6, 2026!

The Louisiana Chapter Appraisal Institute was proud to co-sponsor this impactful seminar alongside the Louisiana Real Estate Appraiser Coalition and Gulf Coast Bank and Trust, and the energy in the room reflected just how important this topic is to our appraisal community.

A huge thank you to Instructor Melissa Bond for delivering an outstanding, thorough walkthrough of UAD 3.6. Her expertise, clarity, and ability to break down complex material made this an incredibly valuable session for every attendee.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for investing in your professional development. This is exactly what our appraisal community looks like when we come together to learn, grow, and stay ahead of the curve.

Stay tuned for more upcoming education opportunities from the Louisiana Chapter!

Coming up really soon like NEXT WEEK we have a Special Chapter Business Meeting on May 12, 2026!
