About Jay Zeiger

In 2008, the Board of Directors voted to create a Jay (James) Zeiger Service Day. Jay was an active MAI member of the Massachusetts Chapter. In addition to serving on the Chapter’s Board of Directors for nine years, Jay served on various chapter and national Appraisal Institute committees. He was always an advocate for our organization. Jay lost his battle with cancer in August 2007 and the Chapter continues to honor him with a Day of Service in his memory.

Since its inception in 2008, Chapter AI Professionals have donated their time by volunteering at the PMCNewton-Needham Kids Ride, Greater Boston Food Bank and Cradles to Crayons.
