“As we move toward a more legislated environment around the country, ASHI needs to determine how we can best serve regulated members while maintaining the level of service our unregulated members have come to expect. 

Membership should continue to grow as non-ASHI inspectors in regulated states realize the best way to separate themselves from “the other guys” is to attain ASHI membership.”

“Working with our Membership has been fulfilling. I’ve been fortunate to hold leadership positions that allowed me to work with talented people and to merge divergent opinions into good policy. I’m committed to assuring the high standards that are trademark of an ASHI inspection. In times of legislative and regulatory pressure, I believe a large group as diversified as ours is can best be productive by projecting a strong, unified front. Past significant accomplishments were only possible through consensus-building and broad participation.”
