Register early for InspectionWorld to be counted for ASHI Chapter Enterprise Award
The chapters with the most and the highest percentage of members attending InspectionWorld will receive Chapter Enterprise Awards.

The award was funded by an anonymous long-time ASHI Member who believes attending the conference with his peers has contributed to his success, and he’d like to encourage others to take advantage of the same opportunities.
