The Appraisal Institute of Canada has named Simon Chin, Managing Partner of Bourgeois Brook Chin Associates, VerraGroup's Edmonton affiliate, as it's 2018 Top Appraiser Under 40.
The Top Appraiser Under 40 Award recognizes exceptional young appraisal professionals – one male and one female – who are making significant accomplishments within the appraisal profession and their community.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce with Distinction from the U of A in 2003, he became an AIC Candidate in 2004, obtained a diploma in Urban Land Economics from UBC in 2011, his AACI designation in 2012, and a Masters of Business Administration from the U of A in 2016.
Simon’s career and volunteer experience is just as impressive as his educational foundation. Simon held positions with Bourgeois & Company Ltd, the City of Edmonton, the Alberta Teacher’s Retirement Board and Bourgeois Chin Associates before becoming Managing Partner (Edmonton) of Bourgeois Brooke Chin Associates and a valuation affiliation of Verra Group.
On the volunteer front, Simon has been equally busy; he has volunteered with the AIC-Alberta Edmonton Chapter, he is currently President of AIC-Alberta and he serves on its Advocacy, Promotion/Recruitment & Retention and Provincial Conference committees. Nationally, he is involved with the Professional Competency Interview program, the Standards Sub-committee, and has previously served on the Marketing & Communications and National Conference committees.
