2013 Winter Newsletter

Networking is necessary for any organization. As past president of FCIAAO I have found no better way of helping my organization obtain their goals than to attend the FCIAAO conferences and talk to the member of other county offices. After all, no sense inventing the wheel if someone already did.

If I can help anyone or you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at awethering- ton@ocpafl.org .

What do you do for the PA? I have worked in every aspect of the office assisting, training, educating and overseeing professionals through out the Real Estate Depart- ment. As Real Estate Manager I specialize in commercial and agricultural classifica- tions and contribute to value adjustment board scheduling, coordination and de- fense. I am also fortunate to have the opportunity to teach IAAO course work sev- eral times a year preparing students for Florida Chapter and Department of Revenue certifications. How long have you been employed with the PA? I started working for Orange County Property Appraiser Ford Hausman in 1991 as a residential field appraiser where I had the opportunity to be trained and educated by leaders in the industry. After fifteen years growing through the ranks of Ap- praisal Information Specialist, Agricultural, Commercial Field and Review, I accepted a manager‘s po- sition in Saint Lucie County in 2006.

What do you like most about your job? I really enjoy sharing my years of appraisal experience assisting with day to day problem solving and training. It is enjoyable to work with appraisal profes- sionals that strive to learn and develop necessary skills in both mass and single property appraisals but community outreach is a favorite.
