PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATION COMMITTEE NEWS
As many of you have read in previous newsletters, the IAAO Procedural Rules were amended over the past year (or so) to offer more flexibility and international appeal. Some of the changes included: educational alter- natives to the Bachelor’s degree requirement, and educational equiva- lencies and demonstration appraisal report waivers to associations and institutions such as the Appraisal Institute, the American Society of Apprais- ers and the University of British Columbia. As a result, the Professional Des- ignation Program has experienced unprecedented success.

As indicated in the following table, the total number of candidates and designees has grown steadily since 2014. Specifically, the increase in CAE
and RES candidates/designees is remarkable, and my guess is the new demonstration appraisal report waiver rule is making those designations more attractive (we’ve already had a few in Florida take advantage of the change). And the much-anticipated Mass Appraisal Specialist (MAS) designation is now a designation option.
