ASHI Annual Awards
Honoring Outstanding Service
ASHI was formed by home inspectors for home inspectors. Its history is one of people giving of their time and talent to enrich the profession and the society. From day one, it depended on the unselfish contributions from those in high- and low-profile positions. Once a year, the society has an opportunity to add to the list of those recognized in honor of two earlier outstanding members, Phillip Monahon and John Cox, and for other special accomplishments. It is with pleasure that ASHI presents the 2007 award recipients.
