Founding Members

These are the women that believed in Ascend Appraisers from the very start, joining us for the unforgettable Founder’s Retreat in May of 2023.

"The Founder's Retreat in Miami was a great time with a great, diverse group of women! It was so well organized, and I felt very well cared for through the entire experience. Many thanks to Emily for being the visionary behind Ascend."

- Nancy Myers, MAI

“I was so excited when Emily first shared her vision for Ascend Appraisers with me. I knew it would facilitate deeper connections beyond the typical 5-10 minutes at networking events. I hoped to meet peers and mentors I could strategize with as well as glean from. Ascend Appraisers has exceeded my expectations, especially as it continues to grow and expand. It is a mastermind of female appraisers. ”
