Summer 2014 Newsletter of the FCIAAO
At the 2014 FCIAAO Annual Conference, PDC Chairman Michael Chaves, CAE
and I had the privilege of recognizing the record-setting 14 new IAAO
professional designees and Tony Hodge Award Recipients. The completion
of a designation is a very difficult, but rewarding experience and the recognition
of this achievement can never be overstated. Additionally, we were able to
acknowledge existing designees and the members of the PDC. As I have
mentioned in previous newsletters, the FCIAAO Chapter is poised to win the
IAAO Virginia Cup; the winner will be announced at the IAAO Annual
Conference
.
The
Tony Hodge Award
is granted to FCIAAO members who earn their IAAO designation. At
the 2015 FCIAAO Annual Conference, the Executive Board will recognize the hard work of new
designees and present them with a $250 check! To be eligible, new designees must be a FCIAAO
member in good standing for 12 months prior to being awarded their IAAO designation. New
designees should email a copy of IAAO’s letter conferring the designation to Michael Chaves,
PDC Chairman
.
