KEVIN HAYES MAI, CAE, RES CFE Most of our executive board members and a large number of FCIAAO members attended the 90th Annual IAAO Conference in Denver. It was a fantastic conference and there were nearly 1,800 in attendance. If you have never attended an International Conference before, next year you will get an opportunity right in our home state as Orlando is the host. Put September 21 to 24, 2025, on your calendar now. The event will be at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort. You don’t want to miss it! At the awards luncheon on Tuesday at the Conference, I along with several Board Members accepted the Virginia Cup for a record 13th time. This award acknowledges our chapter’s support of professionalism in the assessing field by recognizing the number of new professional designations received in our state annually. If you have been thinking about taking your career to the next level, consider pursuing an IAAO designation. Our Professional Designation Committee is here to help with Advisors for the IAAO designations. As an added bonus, if you are an FCIAAO member in good standing for 24 months prior to receiving a designation, you should qualify for the Tony Hodge Award and receive $500 for your efforts. Congratulations to Tracy Drake, CFA, CAE, RES, AAS, ASA for being the recipient of the Professional Development Lifetime Achievement Award! Pat Alesandrini, MAI, CAE, RES, SRA, CFE was recognized as an IAAO Fellows. The Leon County Property Appraiser’s Office won the Public Information Program Award and was awarded their second recertification for the prestigious Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Administration (CEAA). The Orange County Property Appraiser’s Office and Sarasota County Property Appraiser’s Office were also awarded their second recertification for the CEAA. The Seminole County Property Appraiser’s Office was awarded their third recertification for the CEAA. Congratulations to all of the award winners! As usual, Florida was well represented. TPP Chair, Lori Dorian and the TPP Steering Committee, have put together an impressive agenda for the TPP Conference in Kissimmee. The conference will take place December 11 to 13 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista South. Pre-conference educational offerings include IAAO Workshop 551: Valuation of Machinery & Equipment and IAAO Workshop 151: 15 Hour USPAP. Register today and book your hotel at your earliest convenience. As another tropical storm/hurricane is bearing down on our great state, please stay safe. I am praying for minimal impacts.
