Navis Pack & Ship, an industry leader in specialized shipping solutions, continues to strengthen its ties with appraisers across the nation. Andy Ahrens, owner of Navis Pack & Ship of Naples & South Florida, recently highlighted the company's presence at the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) annual conference and its ongoing commitment to this vital community.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of property appraisers and assessors is projected to grow 4 percent from 2023 to 2033, aligning with the average growth rate for all occupations. This sector anticipates approximately 6,900 openings annually throughout the decade.1 As the demand for appraisal services increases, the need for specialty shipping services becomes more critical, ensuring the secure transport of valuable items.
The ISA's 37th annual Assets conference, "National Treasures," was held at The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City from April 2–4. This event serves as a vital platform for appraisers to exchange insights and expand their networks, featuring distinguished, world-renowned speakers. Navis Pack & Ship has been a trusted partner in the industry for over 30 years, known for our dedication to excellence and reliable service. Our presence at the conference inspired new connections and reinforced our reputation as a steadfast supporter of those preserving our cultural and artistic heritage.
