Fall 2024 FCIAAO Newsletter

ProfessionalDesignation News

After a brief, but much needed hiatus, I was excited to attend the 90th Annual IAAO Conference in Denver, Colorado and re-connect with so many friends and fellow assessment professionals. And like so many conferences before, Florida put on full display why we are the standard bearer and preeminent Chapter of the IAAO. To start, the Florida Chapter won the Virginia Cup for the record-breaking 13th time! (2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024). For those that don’t know, the Virginia Cup was first awarded in 1990 and recognizes the state or province with the most IAAO designees during the award period (July 1, 2023– June 30, 2024). Although President Hayes and FCIAAO Executive Board members had the honor of accepting the Virginia Cup at

the conference, everyone should know that the credit goes to the new designees (and supporting Property Appraisers) who demonstrated a commitment to excellence and professionalism. The following counties recertified their Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Administration and were recognized at the Awards Luncheon: • The Office of the Seminole County Property Appraiser, Hon. David Johnson • The Office of the Leon County Property Appraiser , Hon. Akin Akinyemi • The Office of the Orange County Property Appraiser, Hon. Amy Mercado • The Office of the Sarasota County Property Appraiser, Hon. Bill Furst And a shout out to Mike Russo (Monroe County) for successfully completing the IAAO Instructor Evaluating Workshop ( IEW) Great job, Mike!
