FLORIDA STATE REPRESENTATIVE BOOTH

Spring 2016 Newsletter of the FCIAAO

FCIAAO has five Florida Representatives who are appointed to work with

IAAO and provide a liaison for the State of Florida and IAAO. A meeting

is held at the IAAO Annual Conference of State Chapter Reps and Affili-

ates. Haylee Rees is the IAAO staff liaison for this group and she coordi-

nates quarterly reports and activities to promote IAAO throughout the

country and internationally. The FCIAAO State Reps are: Dorothy Jacks,

Lainie Claudio, Shelia Crapo, Alice Weinberg and Katie Casey.

IAAO provided banners and collateral materials for the recent confer-

ence to promote membership, the IAAO Library, Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Ad-

ministration, and the Tampa Annual Conference which includes volunteer opportunities, the

fishing and golf tournaments and general information. IAAO President Pete Rodda stopped

by the booth to meet members and answer inquiries.

Please note that membership in FCIAAO does not include membership in IAAO, however to

serve on the Florida Chapter Executive Board you must be an active member. IAAO Mem-

bership affords many benefits to assessment professionals. Access the website at

for additional information!

nual Conference to honor their service. The luncheon was hosted by 2015 President, Alice
