Happy Spring from IAAO!

Your April Fair & Equitable magazine is available and we hope it plants seeds for your growth and success. (Select the link to log in and read it on our website. If you do not know your member login, email us to have a new one sent out.)

The cover story studies transitions from one generation to the next in appraisal offices. You'll also find U40 Leadership Lab insights on the new Assessment Industry Compensation Survey, a look at growth in aerial photography, committee reports from Leadership Days and an important update on IAAO education. In addition, you can check out the 2017 Annual Conference education sessions list and read the first Know to Grow column for Chapters and Affiliates.

This issue also features the winner of the 2016 IAAO Distinguished Assessment Jurisdiction Award and how the Texas Association of Appraisal Districts Chapter values the Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Administration. We hope these items encourage you to work on improving processes and services in your office. Don't forget that there are a number of award categories accepting nominations until May 1. Review the 2017 Awards Program and make sure you or someone you know has a chance to be honored for outstanding work!

There's a lot of info to help you grow and thrive this month. Please email me if you have questions about what you read or any of the electronic benefits and resources that are part of your membership.

All the best,


Kate Smith
