ProfessionalDesignation

News

IAAO designations signify exceptional professionalism and competence in property valuation, property tax administration and property tax policy. Many consider a designation to be one of the highest professional achievements and individual can obtain. The FCIAAO Executive Board and the Professional Designation Committee applauds the recipients for their commitment and perseverance. By earning their designations, they join an exclusive club of assessment professionals. This year, we proudly recognized 10 deserving recipients: Virginia Cup a record 13 times (and counting)!

One important aspect of the Chapter’s mission is to promote and celebrate the professional development of our members. I’m proud to report that since 1999, there have been 227 Tony Hodge Award recipients, resulting in more than $96,000 in money awarded to members who are new IAAO designees. These efforts have resulted in the Chapter winning the IAAO Congratulations to the FCIAAO Executive Board and Steering Committees for producing another great annual conference! As expected, it provided many informative, educational sessions and networking opportunities.
