CE Audit Began In February

ASHI staff is charged with conducting an annual audit of Continuing Education (CE) hours. A list of 300-400 ACIs and Associates is randomly generated from the ASHI database, including at least one member from each chapter.

Members on the list are notified to turn in documentation supporting the CE hours they claimed. Certificates of completion, invoices and certificates of attendance are accepted.

Most ASHI members are required to submit a continuing education claim form, but only 300 to 400 are required to submit documentation. Do not send in the documentation unless you are notified that you are being audited.

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

Social Media Icons on ASHI’s Website

ASHI has added YouTube to its social media. Videos on the channel feature Marv Goldstein, ASHI immediate past president; Bill Jacques, ASHI president; Bill Loden, ASHI, president-elect and several InspectionWorld attendees.
 
Looking for content for your Facebook page? The more than 1000 fans of ASHI’s Facebook Fan page find a lot to like and to share.
 
Twitter is equally popular, and 900-plus ASHI inspectors enjoy the ASHI LinkedIn Group (Official).
 
All can be accessed from the ASHI website.

Find a Home Inspector: Consumers Get Options, You Get Feedbac

Consumers have two ways to use Find a Home Inspector on the ASHI website. They can search for an inspector by entering a full address or they can search by entering a zip code — it’s their choice. ASHI wants to be sure consumers find this search function user-friendly. In addition, all ASHI members who have email addresses on file with ASHI will receive a quarterly report on how many consumers have used the search function to view their contact information.
