Professional Designation News

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. 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 206 Tony Hodge Award recipients, resulting in more than $86,000 in award money to members who are new IAAO designees. These efforts have resulted in the Chapter winning the IAAO Virginia Cup a record 11 times! 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 an 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 seven deserving recipients:
