 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

• Workshops

• Other Programs

 

​

 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.
