InearlyMarch, the IAAO conductedLeadershipDays inKansasCity. As a
member of the IAAOProfessionalDesignationSubcommittee, I attended
anddiscovered some remarkable figures. For example, from2008
throughMarch8, 2014, therehavebeena total of 1,492newapplications
fordesignation candidacy - therewere825applications just in2013!
I assume this is a result of IAAO’sdecision towaive the$35designation
application fee, coupledwith thedesireof candidates toavoid thenew
educational requirements thatwereeffectiveasof January 1, 2014.
A breakdownof thenew candidates anddesignees (per year) is as follows:
Since2008, therehavebeena total of 331professional designations conferred - therehave
been51 in2014!As indicated in the tablebelow, theResidential EvaluationSpecialist (RES)has
