​​MISSION AND HISTORY

Picture
MISSION
The Association of Machinery and Equipment Appraisers (AMEA) is a nonprofit professional association whose mission is to accredit our certified equipment appraisers. Through the promotion of standards of professional practice, ethical conduct, and market-based experience, our company has continued to thrive on its original ethics since our establishment by the Machinery Dealers National Association (MDNA) in 1983.

HISTORY
Over its 38 year history, the AMEA has grown to nearly 250 equipment appraiser members from around the world. AMEA provides its members with professional designations, timely news, continuing education opportunities, referrals to clients, networking, discounts on conventions and CE programs, and other benefits such as reference and research tools through or web site’s back office for members only. Those searching for an appraiser may search for a specifi
c member through the online member directory.
The foundation of the AMEA is our
 Code of Ethics and Standards and Procedures Of Professional Appraisal Ethics and Practice . The Standards and Procedures of Professional Appraisal Practice conform to the standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice established by The Appraisal Foundation. The AMEA has endorsed the work of the Appraisal Foundation, and is represented on The Appraisal Foundation Advisory Council (TAFAC). The Appraisal Foundation Advisory Council (TAFAC) is composed of non-profit organizations and government agencies, which represent appraisers, users of appraisal services and government agencies. TAFAC serves to involve the public in the appraisal standards and appraiser qualifications development process.
