RECORD DESIGNATIONS, BREA
INFILTRATION AND EXTREME BOWLING
As 2015 rapidly
comes to an end we
proudly present news,
highlights and a little
humor from the past
year at the Sacramento Sierra Chapter
of the Appraisal Institute.
Top 12 highlights of
2015
20 new designtions—
a record! Well, we’re
pretty sure, because
we had 17 last year,
and we were pretty
sure that was a record.
(7 MAI, 3 SRA and
10 AI-GRS in 2015)
2015 President John Ashworth,
SRA
Two designations
awarded to BREA employees—yes, they’re among
us, and we’re glad to have them in the AI and in our
chapter!
New designee Dylan Ridgely, SRA coming all the
way from Crescent City, just south of the Oregon
border, to receive his certificate at the Installation
Dinner.
Learning about the career and background of Ron
Garland, MAI, SRA in the wonderful presentation
by Smokey Stover, MAI, AI-GRS as Ron was
awarded the chapter’s Lifetime Achievement Award
at the Installation Dinner. There was a great recounting of a character-defining (and career-altering moment in standing up to [well-known lender] employer pressure!
The Economic Forecast in January with presentations by top economists, market specialists and a
Sacramento Kings owner, followed by a good lunch
and giveaway of NBA collectibles.
Several chapter members having a work day to help
in the building of a local Habitat for Humanity
house.
Our two-day Fall Conference in Tahoe—always a
favorite destination with great topics and speakers.
Bowling night and chapter meeting at Strikes in
Rocklin, with Andy Burger, MAI (our new Secretary
-Treasurer for 2016) and Kevin Ziegenmeyer, MAI
receiving their designation certificates.
Dick Seevers, MAI, SRA announcing that he had
been waiting since 1991 to present Kevin with that
certificate, and that, as best as he could determine,
the candidacy was a record length for Region I…and
probably right up there nationwide.
Kevin’s aforementioned record for longest candidacy prior to designation being erased just two
months later when new SRA John Hassler, Supervising Property Appraiser Investigator for the BREA,
reported at the Installation Dinner that he began his
candidacy in 1987. I think John’s record of 28 years
is safe.
Judd Cline, MAI rolling his only two strikes of the
evening while bowling out of turn, one scored to me
and the other to his mother, Kathy Cline, SRA
(keeping us both out of last place). The latter gift
was actually a trick shot: following a standard bowling approach Judd swung the ball behind his back
and then forward through his legs—for a perfect
strike (your results may vary).
An updated chapter website to improve functionality, appearance and ease of maintenance for Jenny.
Arrival of Dominic Calabrese: the baby’s due date
was the day of the bowling event, but Jenny confidently and correctly predicted that the newest family
member would not be born until the next day, then
attended to all the details of the event (though she
wisely refrained from acrobatic bowling maneuvers).
That was actually 13 highlights but I didn’t want to
attach an unlucky element to the heading. I hope
there were no glaring omissions…if so please inform
Bob Steed. Seriously, however, many thanks to Bob
for all his hard work on the

education—we want to help you on your designation

Well, it seems that this past year has been good for
appraising. I’m thankful for a busy 2015 which had a
lot of interesting and diverse assignments. And I’m
also very thankful for having been able to work with,
and get to know better, some of the best appraisers
in the region. We really do have some great people
and great appraisers in our Sacramento-Sierra Chapter.
I’d like to thank fellow 2015 officers Adam Bursch,
MAI and Steve Parent, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS for all
their efforts this year—they are extremely capable
and committed to our chapter, and we are in great
hands going into 2016. Thanks also to each of the
