Above all else, the appraisal profession is about people - and Ryan embodies this truth perfectly. His consistent availability to fellow members, coupled with his genuine desire to strengthen our profession, demonstrates why he's exactly the kind of leader we need. When you speak with Ryan, you know he truly cares about both you and the future of the Appraisal Institute.

As I have associated with Ryan over the years, I have grown to admire his collaborative approach to problem solving.

I am writing to endorse Ryan Hlubb, MAI in his quest for nomination to the Vice Presidency of the Appraisal Institute.  I have known Ryan for approximately 20 years and have served with him on national committees (most recently, AIDC in 2021-2022).  Leadership and valuation are in Ryan’s blood.  His father Paul Hlubb, MAI, provided excellent role modeling for what a Member of the Appraisal Institute should be like; accurate, impartial, independent, and inclusive.  Ryan approaches leadership with a smile.  He is a pleasure to work with, a shrewd and talented appraiser and one who has served our institute at the highest levels. I will vouch for his integrity and commitment to our profession.  He has sought me out many times when in need of guidance in my area of expertise.  With willingness and no hesitation, I offer this endorsement of Ryan.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan Hlubb as the next Vice President of the Appraisal Institute. Ryan consistently seeks to broaden his perspective by engaging those at the national level and individuals outside that sphere. This approach ensures he considers the potential impacts of decisions on the organization, its members, and the broader appraisal community. His leadership style is rooted in collaboration and consensus-building. Ryan’s dedication, strategic thinking, and enthusiasm make him the leader the Appraisal Institute needs at this pivotal time. I am confident he will drive the organization forward with vision and integrity.

Ryan excels at problem-solving and has a talent for sparking constructive and engaging conversations. His outstanding communication skills and deep understanding of the profession and organization position him as a capable leader to drive the Appraisal Institute’s growth and transformation.

Having known him for many years, we have had thorough conversations on the future of the appraisal profession and how the Appraisal Institute can be a continued leader and unifier. I highly recommend Ryan for leadership goals within the Appraisal Institute. His selfless dedication to the betterment of the appraisal professional, above all else, would make him an ideal candidate.
