PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATION COMMITTEE NEWS

I hope everyone had a joyous holiday season and enjoyed some time off from work! I needed some time to re-charge my batteries and prepare for another exciting year. It appears the Florida Chapter is poised to have another successful year in producing new IAAO professional designees. Within the next month (or so) I will begin notifying chapter members who will be eligible to receive the Tony Hodge Educational Award at the 2020 FCIAAO Annual Confer- ence in Fort Lauderdale. The FCIAAO Procedural Rules (as amended) specify eligibility of the award, as follows:

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

The Tony Hodge Educational Award may be granted to FCIAAO reg- ular members who earn their IAAO designations. The Executive Board

shall recognize newly designated members at the successive FCIAAO Annual Conference and may present them with a $500 check. To be eligible, new designees must be a FCIAAO member in good standing for at least 12 consecutive months prior to being awarded their designation and receiving the award. New designees must provide a copy of IAAO’s letter conferring the designation, or a copy of the designation certificate, to the PDC Chairman, or a member of the PDC. Tony Hodge recipients must be registered for the respective annual conference to be eligible to participate in the awards presentation.

New designees should email a copy of IAAO’s letter conferring the designation (or certificate) to tdrake@ccpao.com . The deadline to submit is Wednesday, April 22, 2020 . Don’t miss out!
