Steven N. Siegler, ASA, FRICS Awards Honorary Appraisal Review
These storied individuals will be honored at separate events at the ASA’s International Appraisal Conference in Minneapolis in August. Ernst & Young and American Appraisal will host an awards dinner honoring these deserving individuals on Sunday, August 3. Luminaries from throughout the global valuation community will attend.
In honoring the accomplishments, dedication, and academic thought of these individuals, we as a society reflect on the words of Robert F. Kennedy and the great poet James Merrill . . . “It is not enough to understand or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the area of human activity by those willing to commit their minds and bodies to the task at hand and there are moments when speech is but a mouth pressed lightly and humbly against the angel’s hand.” Messrs. Pratt, Wang, and Sarkissian are the embodiment of our society and its highest endeavors.
