Q3 2025 Chapter Update
Dear Members,
As we wrap up the third quarter of 2025, I’m pleased to share that it has been a busy and rewarding season for our chapter.
We kicked off the quarter in July with a popular Property Tax webinar, which drew strong participation and engagement from members across the state. In August, we hosted a well-attended ADI class that provided valuable professional development opportunities. That same month, our Women’s Initiative event at the Cincinnati Open brought members together for a fantastic day of networking and camaraderie in a lively setting.
Education remained a focus throughout the quarter, highlighted by our class on conservation easements, offered in collaboration with JLL and the Land Trust Alliance. These sessions continue to strengthen our collective knowledge and provide timely insights on complex appraisal topics.
We also placed a strong emphasis on student and career outreach this quarter. Our chapter participated in career fair events at both the University of Cincinnati and Case Western Reserve University, where members engaged with students and helped introduce the next generation to opportunities within the appraisal profession.
Community service and social engagement were another highlight. Members volunteered at the Cleveland Food Bank, supporting elderly residents and others in need. Following the event, we came together for a social evening at a Cleveland Guardians game, which offered a chance to connect outside the classroom and office.
Looking ahead, Q4 is shaping up to be just as active. We will host another chapter business meeting and a social gathering at Cedar Point in October, blending Chapter updates with a great year-end experience. Please bring your family up for the Halloweekened!

On the education front, we are excited to offer a Basic Appraisal Procedures class in October and a USPAP class in December. In addition, preparations are well underway for our flagship event, the 48th Economic Seminar, to be held this December in Dublin. We anticipate another strong program and turnout for what has become a cornerstone of our annual calendar.
Thank you to all who participated in Q3 events and helped make them a success. Your continued support and engagement are what keep our chapter vibrant and strong. I look forward to seeing many of you at Cedar Point and in Dublin later this year.
Thank you for your continued support and participation in our chapter. Together, we are making significant
strides in advancing our profession and fostering a strong community of appraisers in Ohio.
Sincerely,
Jeff Shoykhet, MAI
