It’s hard to believe almost a year has
passed since our last annual confer-
ence and my first speech as president
of FCIAAO. During this time, I’ve had
the privilege to meet and work with
many of our members, including plan-
ning for the upcoming 2017 annual
conference.
The committees have put together an extremely strong
agenda for this year’s program. They were all supplied with
the “requests for future topics” that were submitted by the
attendees last year, and used your input to drive this year’s
agenda. A popular request made last year was for agricul-
tural topics, and this year’s pre-conference workshop is
IAAO 260: Valuation of Agricultural Land. It truly is your
Chapter and your participation is welcome and encour-
aged.
This last election saw a lot of our friends retire. We will miss
them and wish them the best in the next chapter of their
life. Of course, we now have new folks taking office. On
behalf of FCIAAO, I welcome them and offer our support
and encouragement.
As I prepare to pass the torch, I want to express my sincere
appreciation for the Board and the entire membership who
have supported me this past year. There is a wonderful
sense of community within the members of the Chapter
and an ongoing willingness to assist each other. To me, this
is one of the major benefits of being a member.
It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as the Presi-
dent of this great Association. I look forward to seeing you
in April at the Hutchinson Island Marriott.
Your FCIAAO President,
Brian Loughrey, CFE
