Programs
Education - internationally recognized as the leader in multidiscipline valuation education, asa offers a large program in state of the art training courses and seminars for valuation professionals in appraisal review and management, business valuation, gems and jewelry, machinery and technical specialties, personal property and real property. Taught by experienced practitioners, asa courses offer real-world experience and are offered in on-site, online and classroom formats as well as at prestigious universities.
Communications - asa's quarterly online magazine, asa professional, and regular e-mail newsletters provide timely information on news and events affecting the appraisal profession. Periodic publications including business valuation review, the personal property journal and the machinery and technical specialities journal address scholarly and technical issues of concern to valuation practitioners. Asa publications are the source of information on significant matters within the appraisal profession including techniques, standards, regulations and ethics.
Meetings and conferences - each year asa international headquarters and the society's local chapters organize and sponsor numerous events and programs designed to provide education on timely appraisal topics and opportunities for the exchange of ideas among valuation professionals. Events include asa's annual multidiscipline international appraisal conference, advanced business valuation conference and machinery and technical specialties conferences.
Discipline structure - discipline committees provide guidance and oversight in matters specific to each of the society's five active disciplines (business valuation, gems and jewelry, machinery and technical specialties, personal property and real property), including education, technical issues and business development. Asa's multidiscipline structure allows members to address issues of specific concern to their discipline while benefiting from and building on the shared strength of valuation principles common to all disciplines.
Public relations and legislative affairs - asa's public relations program works to educate consumers about the importance of hiring accredited appraisers as well as to increase association membership and establish asa as the premier multidiscipline valuation association. Asa's legislative affairs program seeks to keep members informed of the status of legislation affecting the appraisal profession while actively working to support legislation and regulation at all levels of government that benefits the profession and the consumer.
The 5 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $5.0M to $7.3M (+47%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
