ASHI owns for-profit education corp.
With the creation of ASHI Education Inc. (AEI), a for-profit corporation, the society established the framework to realize a long-desired goal articulated in its current mission statement: “to provide the educational programs needed to achieve excellence in the profession.”
Approved by the Board of Directors in October, 2009, AEI is an Illinois for-profit corporation, commonly referred to as a “C Corp.,” with 100 percent of its stock held by ASHI.
AEI’s first agreement established The ASHI School of Home Inspection, a 50-50 joint venture with Casey, O’Malley Associates. Its second was with Carson Dunlop and Associates regarding ASHI@Home.
AEI has greater flexibility than ASHI to develop programs for the home inspection professionals and for those who are interested in becoming home inspectors. There are IRS rules that govern how much non-member activity a 501 (c) (6) organization such as ASHI can engage in or how much non-member income it can accrue. The creation of ASHI Education, Inc. was in line with what the ASHI Board had directed from the April 2009 meeting when they determined ASHI wanted to provide home inspection-related education to anyone interested in it.
