Vote to Strengthen ASHI’s Future

On April 8, a ballot was sent to ASHI’s voting members requesting their approval of changes to the membership categories designed to strengthen and promote the growth of the society.

The ASHI Certified Inspector (ACI) category remains the same. To learn more about the proposed Bylaw change, which is supported by the Board of Directors and the Council of Representatives, see Page 24 and send your questions to HQ@ashi.org.

CE Audit Underway

ASHI staff is charged with conducting an annual audit of Continuing Education (CE) hours.  

A list of 300-400 ACIs and Associates was randomly generated from the ASHI database, including at least one member from each chapter.

Members were notified to turn in documentation by March 31 supporting the CE hours they claimed. Certificates of completion, invoices and certificates of attendance are accepted.

If the documentation does not verify the required number of hours, the inspector will be placed on administrative suspension until he or she submits the proper documentation.

Standards of Practice
ASHI Standards Committee Asks for Input

The Standards Committee is beginning a review of the ASHI Standards of Practice for home inspections and welcomes proposals for revisions. All the information is here, including a PDF of the proposed Standard and the rationale. To submit your proposal, please email Bruce Barker, the committee chair, at bruce@dreamhomeconsultants.com.
