Find An ISA Member

The ISA  Annual Awards Program gives us the opportunity to recognize individuals who have gone above and beyond to help strengthen the mission of ISA and the personal property appraising profession. ISA would like to give a huge thank you to the board, committee members, members, and staff for their hard work in keeping ISA running smoothly throughout the year. The effort and commitment to ISA have not gone unnoticed.

Hiring an ISA personal property appraiser provides many benefits. There are numerous reasons to seek a professional appraisal, including planning insurance coverage, charitable donations, probate of an estate, or simply determining the value of your tangible assets.

Throughout the Himalayas, the vast mountain range spanning India, Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, lies a vibrant artistic tradition: the creation of thangkas. Tibetan Buddhist paintings in particular are more than just decorative pieces, but represent windows into the soul of Vajrayana Buddhism. Thangkas, traditionally made on cotton or silk, are intricate and colorful depictions of deities, scenes from Buddhist stories, or the sacred diagrams known as mandalas.
