 UCAP's Vision {PET}

​

 Partnership

​

   UCAP will foster diversity, equity and inclusion as well as partnerships with other     organizations to provide access to resources and contracting opportunities, which       will provide those small businesses potential for growth. 

 

   Inequality isn’t just a social issue; it’s also a business issue. Companies such as   (Banks, Appraisal Management Companies and others) today must act to create a   world that respects everyone’s dignity and makes   equal opportunities available to       all.

​

​

 Empowerment

 

    UCAP has affiliations with local, state and government entities to provide access to   resources, contracts and economic opportunities for those small businesses which       will allow those businesses room for expansion.

​

    Create change by training new appraisers who have had barriers of entry into the   appraisal profession, and empowering them by teaching students the necessary           skills to become professional appraisers such as;

​

• Professional Development Skills

• Advanced Appraisal Training Methods

• E-learning tools surrounding common Appraisal Issues & Problems.

• Seminars

• Webinars

​

 Transformation

​

   UCAP will impact change on a national level through its collaborations with larger       non-profit organizations on policies, in the banking and appraisal industry.  And help     craft guidelines and regulations reducing issues such as Appraisal Bias and help in       closing the Appraisal Gap for minority appraisers.
