praisal District Chapter is hot on our tail and we need to maintain our high level of quality educational opportunities and membership. We got off to a great start with the 2016 Annual Business Meeting and Banquet held in St. Peters- burg. We once again surpassed 200 attendees including 19 elected Property Appraisers. We couldn’t have done it without the support we receive from all of our Property Appraisers, vendors and, of course, speakers who donate their time to bring us interesting and informative topics every year. As I mentioned in my remarks at the conference, this is YOUR chapter. It only exists for you, and I encourage each and every one of you to participate. We had 25 people complete the bottom of the conference critique form look- ing to become more involved, which is encouraging. The Executive Board and the Committees always welcome new presenters, new articles for this publication, new topics for the conference and any fresh ideas you may have. Your opinions matter to us and we want to hear them. Our website has the contact information for all of us - please don’t be shy! Director and IAAO Executive Board member Pat Alesan- drini spoke about the statewide sales database during the opening session of our conference. We need your partici- pation in maintaining this valuable resource for high end residential and unique commercial sales transactions. It’s success depends on you.
