Rich Heyn, ACI’s Compliance Director Leads ACI’s Continuing Education Program

May 21 , 2007, Palm Coast, FL. ACI, a leading innovator in technology for the valuation industry has added continuing education to its portfolio of services for appraisal professionals. Rich Heyn, SRA, ACI’s Compliance Director and an AQB certified USPAP instructor, serves as lead facilitator in ACI’s Continuing Education (“CE”) program.

Last month, Appraisers from all over the country attended the ACI hosted, Appraisal Institute approved seminar: Liability Management for Residential Appraisers. The seminar was developed by ACI’s Compliance Director, and attendees earned seven hours of CE credit.

Liability Management is designed to guide new appraisers in developing liability avoidance strategies early in their career, as well assist seasoned appraisers in assessing and modifying their existing loss prevention policies. The seminar covers issues relating to USPAP, the ASB, and Fannie Mae’s revised appraisal and property forms.

With over 30 years of appraisal experience, ACI’s Compliance Director currently develops and teaches a variety of continuing education seminars on a national basis. Professionals seek the knowledge of a seasoned professional when navigating an increasingly competitive and complex industry; and Rich’s expertise makes him ideally suited to assist appraisers today. Rich’s recent seminar on the URAR form, developed for the Appraisal Institute, was attended by over 10,000 appraisers in the past twelve months.

“Tapping into Rich’s knowledge and sharing this resource with appraisers, lenders, and other industry professionals is a significant coup for the entire valuation community,” said Dave Roberts, President, ACI.

“Our clients represent leaders throughout the valuation industry, and our seminars offer a learning environment that fulfills appraisers’ CE obligation, while at the same time, providing relevant and useful information.” said Rich Heyn. “I’m particularly excited that the ACI clients will be among the first to have access to two new seminars currently in development.”
