It’s our Diamond 75th Anniversary!

“This milestone is more than a celebration—it’s a moment to recommit to innovation, education, and excellence in everything we do as valuation professionals.” John Hillas, MAI, SRA, 2025 Fall Conference Chair

Yes, the Northern California Chapter’s Annual Fall Conference has been a fall tradition for 75 consecutive years!
We’ve never missed a year.  And, we know many of you won’t want to miss this year either!

Post conference stay for our Fall Conference Diamond Anniversary Gala (included with your conference fee).  While we will reflect on Fall Conference’s amazing legacy, the Gala is not “yesterday’s” post conference networking social.  It’s a Diamond Celebration with live music, food stations, interactive activities, and special recognitions with a nod to our past but more importantly to our future.  Become a Gala Sponsor!
