THIS IS A SOCIAL EVENT, THERE IS NO AI OR BREA CE
The Southern California Chapter of the Appraisal Institute warmly invites you our 2024 Heritage Night. This year we are pleased to celebrate our distinguished honoree, Scott D Delahooke, MAI, SRA:
Scott brings over four decades of experience in the appraisal profession, with a specialization in litigation and expert witness work. His profession began after studying finance, business administration, and real estate valuation at the University of Southern California (USC). After several initial years in the field of appraisal, he established his professional firm in 1990, the Delahooke Appraisal Company. Scott received the SRPA designation in 1985 (later converted to SRA designation), and his MAI designation in 1993.
Service to the profession had been both consistent and wide in range. Scott served as president and on the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers (SREA), a predecessor organization of the Appraisal Institute. Within that organization, he taught classes, created mock-trial seminars, served as the Seminar Committee chair and Chapter Education Committee Chair.
Volunteer service on behalf of the Appraisal Institute started with Young Advisory Council in 1986 and 1989, Admission Committee service (General and Residential chair) in 1996, and as the Candidate Guidance Committee chair in 2000. He was an educator for several AI courses, participated and chaired Ethics Committees, contributed to past Litigation Seminars, and served as a Regional Experience Review Person for MAI and SRA applicants. Most recently, he was highlighted in conjunction with Steve Roach, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS in the Spring 2024 Valuation Magazine, for co-creating the successful litigation “boot camp. Outside of SREA and AI, Scott has presented to the IRWA, for continuing legal education conferences, and education creation at USC Law School and UCLA Business school.
Scott and his wife, Dr. Mona Delahooke, have three adult daughters. His non-professional volunteer experience includes coaching girls’ soccer, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Los Angeles, serving as a mentor at the Hillsides Home for Children, trustee service at the Pasadena Presbyterian Church and serving on the San Marino Citizens Oversight Committee overseeing construction of a new school.
We look forward to honoring this exemplary chapter member with you; in a celebration of those who pay it forward and bring out the best of others. Cheers!
