All designated members are required to submit evidence of professional growth through continuing education and/or participation in professional activities to remain an accredited and designated ASA, AM or FASA. Those ASAs failing to reaccredit will revert to the grade of Accredited Member. Those AMs failing to reaccredit will revert to the grade of Candidate.

The deadline date for reaccreditation for each designated member is five years following the date of your original accreditation or five years from your last reaccreditation. Your reaccreditation date will not change with a change in your designation.

One hundred (100) credit hours are required for a full five-year reaccreditation period. A designated member who has accumulated fewer than the necessary and required number of hours for a full five-year reaccreditation may request reaccreditation for less than five years. A minimum of 40 percent of the hours required shall be in the field of continuing education, which includes successful completion of a 15-hour USPAP course and exam; speeches, instruction and other program participation in the appraisal profession; or published articles and other literary contributions to the appraisal profession. Credit hours earned must be in the five-year period prior to your application for reaccreditation.

Evidence of professional growth must be described and documented on the Reaccreditation Program Documentation Form in order to achieve reaccreditation. It is important that all relevant information be included with the reaccreditation form.

Questions regarding the reaccreditation process can be answered by your discipline-specific membership coordinator at (703) 478-2228.
