    PRESIDENTS'S MESSAGE - 2012

    William H. Kinn, MAI, CRE

    Long Island Chapter President - Year 2012

    Dear Friends and Colleagues,

    I would like to wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year. As your newly elected President, I would like to thank Matt Guzowski for the leadership of the chapter over the last year. It was a great opportunity to work with him and the other chapter officers. Special thanks goes to Francine Morgenstern, our Executive Director, for all the help that she provides to the officers and members of our Chapter.

    I had the opportunity to attend the National Conference in Las Vegas in the summer of 2011. I was impressed with the quality of the leadership and the direction of the Appraisal Institute. AI seems to be on a strong course, affirming that we are the best professionals in the valuation industry and are the cornerstone of Real Estate valuation knowledge and education. We should all be proud to be members of this fine organization. The 2012 National AI Meeting is scheduled for August 1st in San Diego, California. I would encourage all of you to consider attending this event.

    The Long Island Chapter is a strong member of the AI community. We have caring members that contribute both locally and nationally. I am honored to be part of the Long Island Chapter Leadership. As part of the Long Island Chapter, I have worked hard to bring interesting and knowledgeable speakers to the chapter meetings. For the first time, we changed the format of the Installation Meeting in 2011 to include a speaker of national prominence. KC Conway, MAI, CRE gave an overview of the national and local economic climate. The title of his presentation was “Where is True North”. He was formerly with the Federal Reserve and is a third generation MAI.

    I hope to continue our member’s participation in chapter meetings and hope to underscore the benefits of networking and education. Kevin Timoney, Senior Vice President, is working hard to continue to bring us interesting speakers for 2012. Committees have already begun to meet to plan courses and seminars for 2012, please check the chapter website for upcoming courses and programs.

    Our next Chapter meeting is scheduled for February 15th, 2012 and our first Board meeting of the year will take place just prior to the dinner meeting at 4:30 PM on the 15th. It is important that all Board Members are in attendance.

    The Long Island Chapter saw three of our members awarded the designation of MAI in 2011: Charissa Kwan, Paul Dyckes and Tonia Vailas. We have also welcomed Joseph Hashem, Nicholas Monastero and Kevin MacNamara as Associate Members and Daniel Oh and Jacob Singh as Trainee Members.

    National is instituting a program of candidate growth and designation. This program calls for chapters to provide candidates with guidance and support. This year I hope to grow the ranks of chapter members seeking designation. With the help of Ronald Haberman, MAI, Kathleen Rairden, MAI, Kevin Matheson, SRA and Steven Corte, SRA we hope to enhance our Candidate Mentoring Program.

    The chapter is positioned to begin 2012 with strong committees and chapter leadership. We look forward to a productive year with your participation.

    Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year,
    Sincerely,

    Long Island Chapter of the Appraisal Institute

    William H. Kinn, MAI, CRE
