I’m super excited at the opportunity for us to gather at the 2026 FCIAAO Annual Conference in Kissimmee and celebrate the continued success of the Florida Chapter and the new IAAO professional designees. Over the past few weeks, I have been notifying chapter members who are eligible to receive the Tony Hodge Educational Award . If you recently earned your IAAO designation and have not been contacted about the award, please email tdrake@ccpao.com. Don’t miss out on being recognized as a designated assessment professional!

The FCIAAO Procedural Rules specify eligibility of the award, as follows:

Did You Know? The Tony Hodge Educational Award may be granted to FCIAAO regular 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 24 consecutive months prior to being awarded their designation and receiving the award. From 1999 through 2025, the FCIAAO Executive Board has conferred 228 Tony Hodge Educational Awards, resulting in more than $103,000 to new IAAO professional designees. That’s pretty impressive, with more to be awarded in Kissimmee!
