License holders and the public are invited to participate in the agency’s preparation of its 2017-2021 Strategic Plan by offering input at one of the following sessions:

The purpose of these meetings will be to help guide the Commission and Board members during the strategic planning process. The agency has published a list of questions on the website which will act as a guideline for discussion for this year’s tour. These discussions are meant to be an open forum to gain insight on the needs and preferences of license holders and the public. Each session is planned for two hours and CE credit will be offered for license holders in attendance for the entire session.
In addition to the published questions, the Commission would like to hear license holder feedback on changes to its current advertising rule. Please give us your thoughts on the draft new advertising proposal. Your input will be considered by the Commission’s Executive Committee prior to proposal of an updated advertising rule. Also, the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) has published a draft of several initiatives it is considering to add more flexibility to appraiser qualifications. TALCB would like to hear your thoughts on these.
If you are unable to attend a listening tour session, feel free to submit your comments via the online survey. Your responses are vital to this process.
