Chapter discussion boards now available
Did you know your chapter can have its own discussion board to post important news, express views and even conduct chapter business and meetings? HQ will set up chapter discussion boards at no charge. It’s easy. Notify HQ who will moderate it. This person will be able to select users (these are private rooms, available only to your chapter members and anyone else you choose) and edit/delete posts.
The conferences have chat room capabilities for real time discussion. Take advantage of this great service. Contact Bob Kociolek at 847-954-3177 or bobk@ashi.org to get going.

Tools for promoting your chapter
• Use an ASHI display booth to promote ASHI and your chapter at real estate conferences and home shows. Your chapter can reserve a real estate show booth or a homeowner show booth from HQ. The booths are available free of charge to chapters, but a damage and insurance deposit must accompany the reservation request. The booths are in demand, so please be sure to make your reservation early.
Visit the ASHI Web site to download a reservation form, or contact Russell Daniels at HQ, russelld@ashi.org.
• Would your chapter like to promote ASHI at your state National Realtors Association® conference? To request a list of the dates and locations of state shows, contact Diane Ledet at HQ, dianel@ashi.org.
