Designated members can earn an increase in salary and responsibility. A designation in- stantly establishes your qualifications and credibility and is a universal, portable measure of your capabilities recognized around the world. Designees report gaining confidence in their abilities and the respect of their peers and those they serve. Earning a designation is a re- warding experience, demonstrating that you have attained the highest level of profession- alism. Requirements To earn an IAAO Designation, one must be an IAAO member in good standing and com- plete the requirements for the particular designation pursued. Each designation has experi- ential, educational, demonstration project, and examination requirements.
