The Board of Directors of NAA has established an advisory membership category consisting of leadership of state organizations. A recognized state or local appraiser organization (properly formed and recognized as active by their appropriate secretary of state) can join the National Association of Appraisers (NAA) by meeting its membership requirements. The organization may appoint a representative to the Board of Governors (BOG), which advises and supports NAA leadership. The NAA also offers an advisory membership for state and local leadership to further collaborate with its committees.
