Candidate Statement:

Tracy S. Drake, CAE, ASA, RES, AAS, CFE

As assessment professionals, we have the responsi- bility of administering complicated property tax sys-

tems in an ever-changing environment. As the “global leader and preeminent source of standards, professional development and research in property ap- praisal, assessment administration and property tax policy,” it is necessary to diversify and expand the membership by increasing accessibility of education and exploring educational equivalencies.

Membership with IAAO should provide value. If elected, I will be fiscally conservative and will strive to ensure that the networking and educational opportunities are relevant and beneficial. My experience as Chair of the Professional Designation Subcommittee and the Education Committee, and President of the Florida Chapter of IAAO, has provided me with the experience necessary to become an IAAO leader.
