We
Are......
.....The
International Right of Way Association founded in Los
Angeles, California in 1934
under the name of the Southern
California Right of Way Agent's Association and on August 9, 1946,
was incorporated as the American Right of Way Association. Since
that time, the Association has expanded into an international
professional organization dedicated to the advancement of
right-of-way and land acquisition work as a fully recognized
profession. On March 15, 1980, the Articles of Incorporation were
changed by a vote of the membership to reflect the new
name--International Right of Way Association.
We
Represent.......
......... United States and Canada,
billions of dollars are expended annually in the acquisition,
management, and transfer of rights-of-way.
The technical skills
required for proficiency in this complex activity embrace the fields
of appraisal, engineering, law negotiation, public relations,
property management, and public service administration. It is
logical, therefore, that the foundation of the International Right
of Way Association is a vigorous, continuing educational program.
This program is designed to better equip right-of-way practitioners
in the fulfillment of professional obligations to their employers,
whether they be the public or the stockholders of private
organizations.
Because the Association has expanded into
an international association, composed of approximately 75 Chapters,
1
it now plays a stronger and more significant role in the development
of the economies of the United States and Canada. This is especially
true with respect to the multitude of vital community, regional and
national improvements, highways, flood control projects, public
utility construction, pipelines, railroads, and all other public and
quasi-public development activities.
Our Goal Is.......
......As the Association expands, so also does
its program to unite the professional efforts of all right-of-way
professionals toward the betterment of the conditions of the
individual.
The Association will continue to promote high standards
among its members to the end that they render their full potential
of service to their employers. To accomplish this, members must
predicate their professional aspirations upon the Code of Ethics of
the International Right of Way Association.
Who Is Invited To
Join Us........
........Any person who is principally
engaged in the acquisition, management, or disposition, of real
property or interests therein, in connection with public,
quasi-public, or private activities is eligible for membership in
this Association.
