Parnell Black, MBA, CPA, CVA
NACVA's Chief Executive Officer
We are moving at lightning speed at NACVA HQ, all in our efforts to expand support and services for members over the next year. These are not new plans; most have been in the works for a number of years, and cap off a long list of new programs and services to support our membership.
The successful implementation of these new initiatives relies heavily on participation from our membership for which your support will be compensated and/or present opportunities for business referrals and joint ventures.
The details of our compensation and referral opportunities will be shared once we have completed our recruitment campaign and made our hiring selections. Thus, you will have to come forward trusting that the compensation and benefits package will be reasonable. If you have been selected and are not happy with the package we offer, you do not need to go forward. Here is what we have:
MENTORS—BACKGROUND
NACVA needs to recruit up to 60–80 members to support our membership in four areas of mentor support. These areas and a brief description of each are listed below:
Please send your expressions of interest along with your CV via e-mail to our Executive Director, Jonathan Jackson at JonathanJ1@NACVA.com. Please also copy our Management Assistant, Lynne Johnson at LynneJ1@NAVCA.com.
Q&A DEVELOPERS—BACKGROUND
NACVA has an extensive library of archived previously recorded webinars found in our CPE On-Demand Library (CPEOD). We are in the process of qualifying them for CPE under QAS guidelines established by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) and need to expedite the process of developing multiple-choice (MC) questions for each hour of CPE. We are looking to recruit up to 40 members to help with this process. Compensation is free CPE and credit vouchers good towards NACVA purchases and KeyValue Data subscriptions and purchases.
Requirements for Q&A Developers
Please send your expression of interest along with your CV via e-mail to our Director of Educational Enrichment, Diana Ridgeway at DianaR1@NACVA.com. Please also copy our Management Assistant, Lynne Johnson at LynneJ1@NAVCA.com.
ECONOMIST(S)—BACKGROUND
NACVA’s affiliate, KeyValue Data (KVD), is constantly working on developing new and useful databases for valuators, and has identified a quality source for economic data. This data includes: income, employment growth, population changes, households, and retail sales potential. The data is detailed, comprehensive, and is broken down by both state and county. We want to make this data relevant to valuators and much easier to access.
We need one, or a few, economist(s) who can advise us on reviewing the data through the lens of valuation, help us develop the product, assist in the testing phase, and provide product endorsements and testimonials for use when we unveil this new service, which will be available to KVD subscribers.
Requirements for Economist(s)

Thank you for your support. I look forward to meeting all of you; you will become an important part of our NACVA team and help lay the foundation for a successful future.
