Key Objectives of the Valuation Council:
  1. Serve the public and valuation clients through representing and coordinating the valuation disciplines and positioning their roles and services. 
  2. Provide leadership and a unified public voice in responding to important valuation issues. 
  3. Educate professionals and future professionals in standards and best technical practices, using established accrediting programs and expanding upon academic resources. 
  4. Develop and enforce member allegiance to valuation principles and standards through peer review and continuing education. 
  5. Provide and develop enhanced strategies for business development and networking opportunities for members. 
  6. Advocate collaborative coordination among valuation industry groups.

Guiding Boards
The Valuation Council represents all valuation disciplines and integrates the expertise of nationally prominent members that participate in six valuation specialty boards.

In addition, the Council looks to a Principles Board and Standards Board for guidance on professional conduct. The Principles Board identifies early warning signs that articulations of principles are needed and creates guidance or regulations in advance of crises. The Standards Board monitors, critiques and influences valuation standards as well as makes recommendations on professional conduct, process and the technical application standards.
