As a dedicated member of the Appraisal Institute, I am deeply invested in ensuring the future of our organization—keeping it respected, relevant, financially solvent, and in tune with the evolving needs of its members. Under the leadership of Dr. Cindy Chance, who holds a PhD in ethics, our institute thrived. Her tenure was marked by transparent communication, evidenced by her authentic, unscripted 'From the Desk of Cindy' letters, which truly resonated with our membership.

Dr. Chance's distinguished academic background and ethical approach to leadership brought about significant positive changes. We didn't just stumble upon such an accomplished leader; her selection was the result of a diligent process involving Korn Ferry, an elite consulting firm ranked #4 by Forbes, and a dedicated internal CEO search team.

Dr. Chance's vision for the Appraisal Institute was clear and forward-thinking. She engaged directly with members, fostering an environment of trust and mutual respect. Her unique ability to understand the everyday experiences of our members made her relatable and led to strategic initiatives that benefited the entire organization.

Removing Dr. Chance from her leadership position has left a void that impacts not just the operational efficiency but also the morale of our members. The absence of her empathic leadership style is keenly felt across all levels. Restoring Dr. Cindy Chance as the CEO will not only align with the Institute's goals of maintaining its prestigious status but will also ensure that our journey ahead is one of integrity and genuine member engagement.

To preserve the legacy of excellence and integrity at the Appraisal Institute, we need to bring back Dr. Cindy Chance to guide us forward. Your support in signing this petition is crucial for restoring strong, ethical, and inspiring leadership to our organization. Help us take this important step in steering the Institute towards a future that mirrors Dr. Chance's remarkable vision. Please sign this petition today to make a difference.
