What a great honor it is for me to
serve as President of the FCIAAO, the
largest IAAO Chapter in the United
States. I’d like to thank all of our
members for making our chapter one
of the best in all of IAAO.
Being at the top means everyone
wants to surpass you. The Texas Ap-
praisal District Chapter is hot on our tail and we need to
maintain our high level of quality educational opportunities
and membership. We got off to a great start with the 2016
Annual Business Meeting and Banquet held in St. Peters-
burg. We once again surpassed 200 attendees including
19 elected Property Appraisers.
We couldn’t have done it without the support we receive
from all of our Property Appraisers, vendors and, of course,
speakers who donate their time to bring us interesting and
informative topics every year.
As I mentioned in my remarks at the conference, this is
YOUR chapter. It only exists for you, and I encourage each
and every one of you to participate. We had 25 people
complete the bottom of the conference critique form look-
ing to become more involved, which is encouraging. The
Executive Board and the Committees always welcome
new presenters, new articles for this publication, new topics
for the conference and any fresh ideas you may have.
Your opinions matter to us and we want to hear them.
Our website has the contact information for all of us - please
don’t be shy!
Director and IAAO Executive Board member Pat Alesan-
drini spoke about the statewide sales database during the
opening session of our conference. We need your partici-
pation in maintaining this valuable resource for high end
residential and unique commercial sales transactions. It’s
success depends on you.
