The reality of the Personal Property Appraisal industry is that the general public does not know who we are or what we do. IAA’s goal is to educate the public and member’s clients through an organized and ongoing publicity campaign. Our staff members have a history in the advertising and public relations industries having worked with and for such companies such as Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide.
Our growing membership includes seasoned and well respected appraisers, gemologists, auctioneers, dealers, fine art and antiquities experts and gallery owners country and worldwide. We hold our appraisers to the highest ethical and professional standards and we treat them with the professionalism they deserve.

During the calendar year we will post opportunities for travel with one of our senior Association Directors to areas of cultural interest in the USA and worldwide.
Past experience has shown that these opportunities fill fast those interested will need to act quickly when these trips are posted.
