What a year. Can you believe it’s
over already? I think there may have
even been a Presidential election, if
memory serves…
The Florida Chapter had another
great year. Our conference in April
was very well received, and thanks to
the support of our vendors we en-
joyed some premium breaks and a welcome reception
from Thomson Reuters. We will try to keep the momentum
going in 2017, with the Tangible Personal Property Seminar
being moved to January 25 at the request of the members.
The TPP steering committee has done another outstanding
job putting together a quality program, and in addition to
the seminar they are offering IAAO workshop 552-Basic Per-
sonal Property Auditing.
It was a rewarding year at the IAAO conference in Tampa.
The Chapter won Outstanding Chapter of the Year for a
staggering 19th time! This was the fourth year in a row that
we won this prestigious award. Chapter Vice President Tra-
cy Drake took home the Member of the Year award and
Chapter Past President Doug Will received the Instructor of
Excellence award. Executive Board member Pat Alesan-
drini and coauthor (and former Executive Board member)
Tim Wilmath won the Donehoo Essay award. Congratula-
tions again to these deserved winners.
On April 26 we will reconvene at the Hutchinson Island Mar-
riott Beach Resort and Marina for our annual conference
and business meeting. We look forward to a warm wel-
come from Hon. Laurel Kelly, Property Appraiser for Martin
County. The Executive Board has already secured some
energetic speakers for the Wednesday plenary session and
I know the Real Property, IT/GIS and Exemption steering
committees are putting the finishing touches on their re-
spective agendas. They have used your feedback from
the conference critique forms to drive the conference con-
