Invitation to celebrate the International Valuation and Appraisal Week

1-7 November 2021

Dear Fellow Valuation and Appraisal Professionals,

Please join us once more to celebrate this year’s International Valuation and Appraisal Week to be held from 1 to 7 November 2021. This is our 11th year the valuation and appraisal community has been able to combine together to celebrate a week aimed at enhancing the awareness for the valuation profession from a global perspective.

WAVO would like to hear from all of you VPOs and of your virtual activities, members’ dialogues, virtual gathering of sharing sessions, etc that you are planning over next few weeks especially in the first week of November. Do keep WAVO informed of the main media in your countries as WAVO would like to extend this Calendar of Valuation virtual events to them for their news coverage in your respective countries.

The valuation and appraisal profession continued to face the increasing global challenges and with 2021 marking the continued direction towards virtual meetings, dialogue sessions, seminars and conference via webinars or other form of virtual attendance as borders of countries in the world remained closed amidst the global pandemic situation of the Covid-19 virus. The World Association of Valuation Organisations (WAVO) comprising a focused group of professional valuation organisations that represent valuers, appraisers, accountants and related property and business consultants and we believe that it is important that a week be dedicated to the promotion of this select group of valuation professionals.

In 2011, the first “International Valuation and Appraisal Week” was celebrated by a number of leading valuation and appraisal organisations across the world, and raised the importance that valuers and appraisers make towards the global economy. This year’s Valuation and Appraisal Week continues the same theme building upon last year’s success.

I thank all participants for their continued participation and growing support for this initiative and warmly welcome other valuation organisations to join in and participate in some measurable way towards this worthwhile week-long event.During the first week of November 2021, participants will be able to use this guide to plan their own event, publicise and promote the valuation and appraisal profession in their own geographic area.

Please accept this Official Guide as a common standard and theme during this time. Thank you for your continued support and growing interest in this initiative. Best wishes to you all.
