Fall 2014 Newsletter of the FCIAAO
starting an Asia-Pacific Chapter of IAAO. Currently, IAAO
has Representatives in a number of countries, but a new
international Chapter outside of North-America will be a
first. Stay tuned as details are discussed - IAAO leadership
and committees will work on this idea in the fall at
Leadership Days, a meeting of all IAAO committee
participants, which Florida can proudly claim a number.
Meeting our peers from other nations can be very
rewarding, it is good to know that the issues and
challenges we face day to day; valuing complex
properties, explaining our roll in the world of taxation to
the public we serve and working with other governmental
agencies is not limited to Florida, or the United States but
are the same the world over - we are part of a very large
community of professionals.
