WEBINAR - UAD 3.6 from the Lender’s Perspective: Implementation, Impact & What Comes Next (October 20, 2026)

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:00:00 GMT

UAD 3.6 represents much more than a redesigned appraisal report. It changes how property information is structured, transmitted, reviewed, and ultimately used throughout the mortgage and valuation process.

Join the American Valuation Society for a practical discussion with Erin Dee, SVP & Chief Innovation Officer at BankSouth Mortgage, examining UAD 3.6 from the lender's perspective.

Register on Zoom

The conversation will explore how lenders are approaching implementation, what the transition means operationally, where challenges and opportunities are emerging, and how structured appraisal data may change appraisal review, risk management, technology integration, and communication across the valuation ecosystem.

We'll also discuss what lenders need from appraisers, AMCs, software providers, and other partners as UAD 3.6 adoption expands—and what the industry is learning as the new reporting environment moves into real-world production.

This is an industry discussion focused on implementation, lessons learned, and what comes next.

Women of Valuation is a new AVS webinar series built around open, candid industry conversation.

Join Gynell Vestal, Cindi Harris, and Rachel Robinson for the inaugural discussion as they take on the issues, changes, opportunities, and challenges affecting valuation professionals today.

Click Here to Register on Zoom

The first conversation will dig into UAD 3.6 and valuation modernization, including the gap between understanding the new data specification and putting it into practice through software and appraisal workflows. The group will discuss how appraisers are navigating the transition, whether the changing environment creates a renewed need for peer-to-peer collaboration and appraisal firms, and some of the intended—and unintended—consequences of modernization. These were the central topics identified for the opening session. email chat

But Women of Valuation isn't intended to be a scripted presentation. Each session will leave room for current events, differing perspectives, tough questions, and the real-world issues people across valuation are talking about. The original concept specifically called for bringing timely current events into the conversation as well. email chat

Real conversations. Every perspective.
