IAAO ELECTION NEWS
FCIAAO Past President Tracy S. Drake, CAE, ASA, RES, AAS, CFE has announced his can-
didacy for the IAAO Executive Board - Region 3. In recognition of Tracy’s numerous
accomplishments in our profession, demonstration of leadership through this chapter
and the IAAO and for his years of dedication to his craft, the Executive Board of the
Florida Chapter of IAAO voted and unanimously agreed to support Tracy in running
for the IAAO Executive Board.
Candidate Statement:
As assessment professionals, we have the responsibility of administering compli-
cated property tax systems in an ever-changing environment. As the “global
leader and preeminent source of standards, professional development and research in property appraisal,
assessment administration and property tax policy,” it is necessary to diversify and expand the membership
by increasing accessibility of education and exploring educational equivalencies.
Membership with IAAO should provide value. If elected, I will be fiscally conservative and will strive to ensure
that the networking and educational opportunities are relevant and beneficial. My experience as Chair of the
Professional Designation Subcommittee and the Education Committee, and President of the Florida Chapter
of IAAO, has provided me with the experience necessary to become an IAAO leader.
