ASHI Certified Inspectors and ASHI Associates replace Members and Candidates
The Web site continues to be updated, replacing the previous member category names with the new ones. Printed material will be changed as current supplies are exhausted.
Chapter Bylaws
ASHI chapters should update their chapter bylaws to reflect the membership category name changes. This is considered an administrative “housekeeping” change and should not require a vote of the chapter membership. No review or approval by HQ or legal counsel is required to make these changes.
Reaching out to chapter presidents
Want to know what ASHI is doing for you? Want to tell us what’s going on in your chapter and how we can help? Starting this month, ASHI Director of Chapter Relations and State Affairs Bob Kociolek (847-954-3177) will be calling each chapter president to check in and chat. It’s your opportunity to find out what’s going on and to relay your issues and concerns to your leadership. So, when the phone rings, pick up please!
Chapter Presidents receive D&O insurance information
Chapter presidents were notified of a change in the funding of D&O insurance for the chapters and were asked to consider this change as they discussed chapter budgets. If the presidents have questions about the change, they are encouraged to contact Richard Bennet, 847-954-3183 or richardb@ashi.org.

Chapter Calendars just a click away
Is your chapter struggling to get members to attend meetings? We can help. Did you know that all chapters have calendars on the ASHI Web site to announce chapter events? Your members can look at their own calendar and the calendars of other chapters to see what’s going on. To use your chapter calendar, you need to appoint a calendar administrator. Contact Bob Kociolek at bobk@ashi.org or 847-954-3177 to get your calendar going or to resolve questions or issues.
