Advocacy is equal parts art and science,

O ne of the most significant decisions made by the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC) Board of
\nDirectors in the past 20 years was to
\nrelocate the AIC national office from its
\n60-year home in Winnipeg, to Ottawa.
\nOne of the primary objectives of this
\nrelocation was to better position AIC and
\nthe appraisal profession with influencers
\nwithin the federal government and with
\nother national real estate organizations.
\nThe Ottawa association landscape is
\ncrowded and complex, with scores of
\nassociations representing hundreds of
\ngroups ranging from doctors and farmers
\nto bankers and accountants. All these
\nassociations are vying for mindshare and
\nvisibility in Ottawa political and regulatory
\ncircles. These associations are all looking
\nto advance their interests, as well as those
\nof the public, and to influence politicians
\nand policy makers in ways that are
\nbeneficial to the health and success of
\ntheir industries. While governments are
\nusually willing to listen to all interested
\nparties as they develop their policies, it
\nis not always easy for an organization to
\nmake its voice heard through the noise of
\nhundreds, if not thousands, of lobbyists.

EXECUTIVE CORNER<\/p>\n
The decision to relocate has proven
\nworthwhile, with AIC gradually making
\ninroads in advocacy circles in Ottawa.
\nThe fruits of this labour have become
\nvery evident, especially in the past five
\nyears. AIC is now at the table with all of
\nthe significant players in the Canadian
\nfinance and housing markets. From the
\nCanadian Home Builders Association,
\nthe Canadian Real Estate Association,
\nMortgage Professionals Canada, the
\nOffice of the Superintendent of Financial
\nInstitutions, CMHC and many others, the
\nrole and importance of appraisers to the
\neconomy is increasingly well understood.
\nFurthermore, politicians and public
\nservants in Ottawa are now familiar with
\nAIC and have begun to perceive us as a
\ntrusted advisor in the development of rules
\nand regulations. AIC\u2018s opinion and input is
\nnow regularly sought out by governments
\n\u2013 whether it be in one-on-one meetings
\nwith MPs, the Minister of Finance and other
\nCabinet Ministers, public servants or in
\nappearances before House of Commons
\nCommittees. Each year, AIC makes pre-
\nbudget submissions to government and,
\nfor the past three years, we have appeared
\nbefore the House of Commons Finance
\nCommittee to provide insight and input to
\nthe federal budget development process.<\/p>\n
AIC has established itself in a credible
\nand respected position in Ottawa. While
\nwe have realized significant success, it is
\nimportant to remember that advocacy is a
\nmarathon and not a sprint. It has taken 10
\nto 15 years for AIC to reach its position of
\ncredibility and prominence in Ottawa and
\nit will require even more work to maintain
\nand solidify that position. We must continue
\nour efforts to ensure that our voice
\ncontinues to be heard. Beyond federal
\ngovernment advocacy, AIC, in partnership
\nwith provincial affiliates, is now actively
\ninvolved in provincial advocacy efforts.
\nThis includes Queen\u2019s Park Day (annual day <\/p>\n
Our advocacy efforts are a long game and we will continue to build on our successes.<\/p>\n
at the Ontario legislature meeting with
\nMembers of Provincial Parliament) in
\nOntario, work in British Columbia and in
\nAlberta, and working with other provinces
\nto make submissions to their governments
\nto advocate for sound and responsible
\nhousing and finance policy. <\/p>\n
As we know, the work of appraisers
\nis often done behind the scenes, but it
\nis nonetheless of critical importance.
\nRaising awareness among the general
\npublic, government and real estate
\nstakeholders of the role we play in the
\nCanadian economy is, and will continue to
\nbe, a constant challenge. Increasing that
\nawareness and understanding requires <\/p>\n
AIC to be strategic, consistent,
\ndeliberate and persistent in the delivery
\nof its messages to government and real
\nestate stakeholders. In measurable
\nways, AIC is succeeding in differentiating
\nitself from other stakeholders and
\nestablishing a firm position as a
\ntrusted advisor to politicians and public
\nservants. But, as with any established
\nrelationship, our advocacy efforts are a
\nlong game and we will continue to build
\non our successes. Working closely with
\nour volunteers, committees and Board of
\nDirectors, AIC has been able to achieve
\nmuch to be proud of and the future
\nlooks bright. <\/p>\n
